It is described as the only component of the multiple resource area that represents the combined family home and business typical of small villages. Its bracketed cornice, original storefront, display shelves and interior detailing remain largely intact.","narrative":"Built around 1887 on the south side of Broadway in Cape Vincent's commercial area, this small L-shaped building combined a family home with a shop. It has two stories, a wood frame, clapboard siding and a low-pitched shed roof. The main block keeps its original storefront, with a recessed central doorway between large display windows, a dentil cornice, and brackets along the roofline. Inside, the original display shelves and plank ceiling survive. The residential wing received a one-story porch with slender Doric columns about 1900, repeating the storefront cornice detail. A detached clapboard paint shop stands at the rear and also contributes to the property. The building is named for Mr. and Mrs. Glen, who owned it until 1940, when Cape Vincent was a busy international port and trading center. Mrs. Glen ran a candy store in the storefront, and Mr. Glen sold paint from the rear shop. It was recognized as an unusually intact example of a village business and home under one roof.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Unknown (architect and builder both listed as unknown)","architectural_style":"Italianate","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed in excellent condition; still used as a residence and store, with the storefront operating as a liquor store since 1940.
