    "Roberts Hardware Building, 213 W. Pike Street, 1905. A three-story brick building with a three-part entablature at the roof level. The laurel motif of the frieze surrounds the date '1905' beneath a bracketed three-band cornice. Originally H. E. Johnson's Wagon Works, a firem that began in 1900, the building was occupied in 1916 by Roberts Hardware, which continues to inhabit the building to the present time."
