Description

The rectangular building measures 100 feet (30 m) long by 26 feet (7.9 m) wide. The corner entrance is set at an angle to face the intersection of Center and South Third Streets and is topped by a terra cotta crest with a JJ monogram. A raised entry at the middle of the long side provides access to the upper floors, with a basement stair set underneath. The elevations that do not face the street are blank expanses of brick.[2]

Jenne Block was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 6, 1998.[1]
