@cejaanderson No. I think that "balcony" is only for show. I believe it is pretty narrow.
Over the main entrance to the building is a decorative stone that says the year it was built: 1926. When I looked at it I wondered, "Who was President when this building was built?" Calvin Coolidge.
It was a new business office building in the Roaring 20's, 3 years before the Depression. I am sure that business was booming then. I made up the title as if it might have been a newspaper headline from the time.
