"Treman, King Hardware stood at the corner of State and Cayuga streets from 1844 until 1934. The three influential Treman brothers were grandsons of Abner Treman, founder of Trumansburg. The existing building, third on the site, was designed in 1922 by Gibb and Waltz. It is a significant example of the modern commercial design developed in Chicago around 1900. On the second, third, and fourth floors are Chicago-style windows, a three-part window consisting of a fixed center sash flanked by two smaller, operable sash windows. This style of window first appeared on Louis Sullivan’s Carson Pine Scott Building, a Chicago department store built in 1894."
