Description, Continued: Constructed pre-1888 this one-story over partial basement, restaurant building is complex in plan. The wood-frame structure has horizontal wood siding with simple stucco panels present at the front and east side additions. A small portion of the front façade, around the entry door also features stucco cladding. The complex roof structure includes a truncated hip section with gable end roofs projecting from the hip along with several flat and shed roof sections. Asphalt shingles clad the sloped roof sections while roll- asphalt roofing clads the flat sections. The primary window type is vinyl-sash, six-over-six, single-hung. Canvas awnings shelter some of the windows near the front of the building. Concrete steps, flanked by ornate metal railings, lead up to the entry door. The multi-lite wood door is sheltered by a canvas awning. A dining patio and ramp stand to the northwest of the restaurant. The ramp accesses an entry off the patio. An interior brick chimney stack is visible at the east side of the structure. Notable features include the flat roof additions at the southwest corner of the building, the truncated hip roof of the original structure and the numerous other additions. Alterations to the restaurant include window replacements and numerous small additions off every façade. The overall condition of the restaurant is good. The street facing (south) façade of the restaurant features a raised entry, accessed by concrete steps. The entry door and steps are located to the west side of the structure and are flanked by a single window to the west and a grouping of five windows to the east. A raised gable roof interrupts the flat roof of the enclosed porch addition and helps identifying the entrance. The restaurant’s name “Barone’s” is painted on the gable end. A canvas awning shelters the multi-lite wood door, while another canvas awning wraps the southeast corner of the building and protects the windows. A dining patio accessed by a wood ramp is west of the building. Currently the patio and ramp are covered by a series of awnings and tents. A flat roof addition is set back from the main façade and features similar windows. Below each window on the main façade is a simple stucco panel surrounded by flat wood trim. The east façade features a grouping of three multi-lite vinyl-sash windows at the southernmost enclosed porch addition and a grouping of nine identical windows at the side addition. Below the windows at the southernmost enclosed porch addition are stucco clad panels surrounded by flat wood trim, while the grouping of nine windows has panels that feature horizontal wood siding that match the rest of the cladding on this façade. Wood lattice hides the foundation and raised floor framing of the addition on this side of the structure. North of the addition is a deck. A shed roof addition, constructed off the back of the original house, features two openings that are currently covered with metal panels. A hip roof addition toward the north end of the elevation has a single, multi-panel door at the patio level. A small, shed roof addition adorns the southern end of this addition. From the patio wooden stairs lead up to a single door which accesses the shed roof addition at the most northern end of the structure. Both additions are clad in horizontal wood siding and feature simple wood trim at openings. The north façade features numerous additions. The east side addition has a pair of multi-lite wood doors opening onto a raised deck. The shed roof addition features a single opening that is currently covered.
