112 N 5th

1946 - Swanson's Grocery

Moderne Style
This single-story tile building represents the modern form of the chain-grocery store and features a vaulted steel
framed aluminum canopy roof.  The footprint has streamlined corners on the northwest and Southwest corners, with
a tile exterior.
The conversion to tire repair has added five garage bay openings on the north side.  The alley and east rear walls are
constructed of tile.
This moderne-style building was the final commercial contribution made by W. R. Griffin to the west part of the
Cherokee business district.
