701-713 S 5th Avenue is a brick streetfront building on 5th Avenue in Maywood, Illinois, with ground floor commercial space set directly on the sidewalk. Street parking lines the front of the building, so customers and clients come from the street to the storefront doors with only a short walk. The brick upper facade with stone trim gives the block a solid, established feel.
Broad storefront glass opens each ground floor space to the street and brings daylight into the front room. Inside, a wide open room carries back from the windows, giving a retailer or service business a clear area for sales, display, tables or workstations. The open plan keeps the connection between the entrance and the work area simple, with good sightlines from front to back and ceiling lighting through the depth of the space.
The rear holds smaller enclosed rooms, including a restroom and utility areas for heating and building systems. That arrangement lets the front stay open for customers while office tasks, storage and day to day support sit behind the main room. The finishes are practical and straightforward, suited to a tenant fitout for neighborhood retail, personal services or other street level uses that benefit from visibility on 5th Avenue.
