| Additional Information: | Built between 1925 and 1946. Previously surveyed in 2005. THIS BUILDING WAS NOT REPHOTOGRAPHED FOR THE 2005 SURVEY. This two-story building is topped by a modestly stepped parapet accented with a row of soldier brick. A recessed, glass storefront holds a centrally located entrance, while a secondary entrance is located directly to the north (left). Stone banding visually separates the lower and upper levels. The upper level is comprised of a centrally located, tripartite window that is flanked by both a single and a paired opening. Karau's Super Market operated out of this bilding from at least 1949 until 1955. By 1966, the store Gambles FU-7 was located in the building. In 1970, the property was converted into multiple office spaces. |
