1947 – 313-317 1st Street

This building at 313-317 1st Street represents "modern" mid-20th century commercial business design. An old wood-frame building had once occupied part of the space, but it had fallen down or been demolished years before. In 1947 this building was erected as a hardware and appliance store. It was split into two retail spaces about 1994, with the basement space opening as a third business in 2007.
