It's a mini-Parthenon, grandeur wrought on the smallest possible scale. Or at least it wants to be grand. In truth...
...it's a puffed-up ordinary gabled brick house, with a Classical facade sitting in front of it.
But I love it. It's such an oddball among all the standard brick and wood siding, and it's obvious that whatever else the owner was thinking, they really really wanted it to be special.

That looks like a house that's been converted into a bank years ago. It would be a perfect location right outside of a church on what looks like a residential street that turned partially commercial.
I think I researched this a while ago and found that it was some sot of social club
The Harris file shows it as built in 1876. The 1914 Sanborn Map shows it as an Undertaker, which would explain the facade.
