History
Augustus Koenig had this building constructed in 1872 for his daughters Pauline and Emma. They operated a millinery and fancy goods shop on the main floor and they lived in the apartments above. In later years the commercial space housed a tavern. The structure has subsequently been torn down and the property is now a surface parking lot.
Architecture
The Koenig Building was a three-story brick structure. It featured a bracketed cornice with a curved pediment. The round-arch widows on the second and third floors had metal hoods with keystones. The building was typical of the city's Victorian commercial buildings.
