Description

Jefferson's was located in a single-story building on Jefferson St. between William St. and Madison. It was flanked on either side by stores, all having composite roofs. A small extension seems to have been added to the building, also having a composite roof. This added space backed up to a building made of cement block running from William Street all the way to the back of 383 Jefferson St. This building was also one story and had a composite roof according to the 1925-51 Sanborn map update.
