117 S 2nd

1909 - Farr & Surles Restaurant

Commercial, single story parapet front
This double storefront brick block (see 115  South Second) retains its storefront dimensions despite the fact that the
transom glassed area has been covered.  The parapet wall exhibits a complex corbelled brick design and the parapet
cap is formed by three rows of brick which step out successively to support a concrete coping cap.
Transoms are covered but can be discerned.  A fixed canopy has been added and the storefront materials replaced.
This was one of two new commercial blocks and one major remodeling that dated to  1910.  Farr & Surles built the
building for their restaurant 1909-10 on a prominent corner location, a former location for the McLean Hotel.
