Description: 238 Second Street is a corner-located, three-story, brick masonry, Victorian ecclectic commercial property has a three-story corner turret and decorative stone work. The building has common bond to Elm Street and a veneer fronting Second. Upper story details include a stepped parapet wall with corbelled table and stone coping, half-height brick pilasters, and seven bays (including the corner turret) with wood and brick infilled fenestration with rough stone sills and lintels.
The square turret has an ogee roofline and finial cap and a bracketed metal cornice. A continuous belt of brick forms the arched tops of the third floor windows, some of which are brick infilled. Stone belts mark the sills and heads of other windows on the facade.
Second floor windows are replacements of large, four-light fixed glass. The first floor is divided into two bays by massive, roughly-dressed limestone. Upper transom areas are infilled with black carrera glass and modern flush panels. Modern plate glass fronts are beneath.
