1985 revision
Matt Cohen , surveyor
Built as the College Hill Grocery , probably by J . Herbert Howell ,
this small Bungalow style building is very well preserved , and
in one of three small buildings in the district built as grocery
stores . It is also one of the few buildings not built as
residences . The central door , and flanking , large windows are
clues to the original function of this building . The College
Hill Grocery is indicative of the modest growth of this . southern
section of the district in the early 1930 ' s .
Howell lived in a small Bungalow style house directly behind
this building , 601 S . 6th Ave . , since at least as early as 1927 ,
and had run a small grocery at 614 W . Dickerson St . before
opening this store .
