I was pretty alert in 1996 and I don't think this style of brick veneer was fashionable then. It looks ten or thirty years older than 1996.
Oh well I guess not everything needs to be fashionable huh.

The typography is idiosyncratic and good. Why is "n" always lowercase? It's a fun question! "Bldg." is one of my favorite abbreviations.
Somebody ought to freshen the datestone by cleaning out the gunk that has accumulated in the letters.
In the upper right somebody wrote: "? Community," apparently indicating dissatisfaction with social conditions in Northville.
