| Additional Information: | These warehouse buildings constructed begining in 1916, were originally designed as stables and dairy showrooms. The main showroom building is constructed of brick and divided vertically by brick pilasters. The roof is arched, supported by steel trusses and, on the exterior, marked by tile coping. A smaller two story sale room joins the pavilion to the west. This is also a brick structure but is surmounted by a gable roof. A one story gable roofed structure, with shed roof addition extends west of the pavilion and was presumably the stable area. The building is brick, divided into bays by brick piers. Metal ventilators mark the ridge line. 2014: No longer extant. |
