129 Commercial Street SE
(Historic Downtown Salem)
 
Classification: Historic Non-Contributing
Historic Name: Unknown
Current Name: Anderson’s Sporting Goods
Year of Construction: 1940
Legal Description: 073W27BA00200; Salem Addition, Front Lot 2, Block 47

Owner(s):
Anderson Sporting Goods
241 Liberty Street, NE
Salem, Oregon 97308

Description: This is a single-story, twenty-two-foot-wide commercial building, built in 1940. Modifications made after 1950 include the addition of a diagonal wood siding on the facade. It has a recessed entryway and large display windows, with a metal canopy which appears to date from the original construction (c.1940). The storefront sash and door opening with transom also appear to date from the 1940s. Removal of the diagonal wood siding could reveal historic features. Due to the fact that the majority of the original building is obscured from view, it does not contribute to the character of the district in its current condition.
