30 Third Street Large and dignified, classically inspired, two-storey, hip-roofed, beige-brick, institutional building with tall wooden portico and stone and cast-stone trim (c. 1910). Ground Floor Elevated landing at entry is reached by eight concrete steps within low concrete walls, and with central metal handrail. Wooden portico comprises tall, full-height, wooden columns and similar pilasters at brick wall. Entablature has narrow architrave, deep frieze and shallow dentilled cornice above. Dentilled cornice repeats at small pediment above. Pair of ¾ glazed, front doors are of oak, with lower entablatures over single bottom panel, and set over broad stone threshold. Tympanum is assumed to have fan-light behind wooden panel. Brown-brick masonry has rustication achieved by recessing every fifth course, while round-headed windows at either side have stone sills and articulated stone voussoirs stepping up in tandem with rustication. Windows are large single-sash below leaded-light transoms (behind discreet modern storms). Floor ends with modest, stone cornice extending from entablature of portico across façade and returning along north and south elevations. Second Floor Brick masonry at upper level is unornamented, and with flat-arch, rubbed-brick voussoirs. Windows are paired throughout, with 1/1 double-hung (behind modern storms) over ground-floor windows, and with PVC, diamond-pane casements over portico. Sills are again of stone, and a broad, pargetted frieze extends around building above voussoir level, and below aluminum-flashed cornice adjacent aluminum-clad soffits. Roof Hipped roof is clad in brown asphalt shingles. At east elevation, beyond brick bay window, a tall and narrow chimney retains corbelled upper courses.
