Built in the early 1900s and not renovated overmuch in the decades since, this Italianate white and cream brick building has excellent bones, but is in definite need of a facelift. At seven stories high, the first floor is twice the height of the others and adorned with ornate friezes typical of the time period. Three separate grand entrances have become less grand with the additions of typical steel and glass doors to reduce energy expenditure, though the original stone and brickwork are still visible and protected against the elements. A marquee sign that was likely once quite grand but has long since lost every single bulb due to vandalism declares this to be the Bauer Building.
The interior of the building has seen better days, with plaster and paint peeling and chipping from some of the walls, though somehow the original marble wainscoting is intact and leads to elevator doors painted with Art Deco motifs next to the original mail box that probably allows drops from any floor, but considering the state of the rest of the building might not be trusted. Old furniture from failed businesses clutters the retail spaces on the first floor, and a long hall between the spaces leads to a locked and barred door with ornate lettering that reads, 'Basement: Employees Only'.
The seven floors are in various stages of disrepair, but most of the office spaces seem workable, if you don't mind either a faint moldering smell or the scent of strong disinfectants and air freshener.
