March 10th, 1934 Grand opening ad posted.
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.
