NOTES
Additional Information:2019: This Contemporary building was constructed circa 1975, with the pergola installation added circa 2000. The building is a
small, rectangular structure with a metal clad, gabled roof. The corners of the building are rounded, with the bottom half
constructed of concrete panels and the upper portion consisting of aluminum windows. Formerly a drive-up photo
development business, it has functioned as a drive-through restaurant since the late 1990s. The pergola is constructed of
round metal beams in an abstract gabled form, partially sheltering the drive-through lane on the southeastern side of the
building. A walk-up service window is located on the northeast elevation.
