According to the NRHP listing for downtown, this was built in 1929, although they agree that it didn’t open until 1934. Builders were Roth Enterprises. The 1924 map shows a 2-story brick building with an identical footprint as the current building, but used as a dealership. The building is in good shape today, and has been a restaurant for at least the past 14 years. Not sure why the photo is not displayed.
