Santora Building

Built in a more ornate, and opulent Spanish Revival style than what was norm at the time for commercial buildings, the Santora Building is unique for just those reasons. Callouts on the building draw attention to arched entrances, and arched second-story windows. The second-story windows are detailed with relief work that leads upward toward the roof, culminating in rows of finials. (2017)
