Design, the Rosenmiller Building is of the Commercial
Style,
though it contains detailing akin to the Beaux Arts Classicism
Style (e.g., balustrade, roofline sculptural element). This was
actually fairly common for the Commercial
Style; architects
frequently added Beaux Arts, Neoclassical, or even
Renaissance Revival ornamentation to "dress up" the Commercial
Style. The Rosenmiller Building was constructed in 1909 and
contains window keystones,
modillions, and a
classical entrance.
