NOTES
Additional Information:2016 - Appears to be c.1980 commercial building with stucco walls and plate glass windows.

2020: Aerial photos show building extant circa 1950. It is a one-story, flat roof building clad in stucco panels. The building features a streamlined appearance, with a continuous band of plate glass windows wrapping the primary western and southern elevations, and a general lack of ornamentation. The entryway is located along the southern elevation. The building shares party walls with buildings to the north and south but appears to be a separate structure.
