The three-story Victorian brick structure at 4815 Longshore Avenue features detailed terracotta decorations, metal cornices, and stained glass windows throughout its facade.
Built in 1885 by druggist Frank W. Jordan, the building incorporated retail spaces on the ground floor and an auditorium for performances on the second level.
