210-212 W Main

1949 - McDonald Block

Commercial, two-story parapet front
The modified storefront (1994) has covered much of the brickwork with a false front and a decorative triangular
"gable" design highlights the store entrance.  The polychrome brick veneer originally filled the entire area above the
broad single storefront.
Storefront replaced and transom level covered.
Attorney Lew McDonald built this building in mid-1949 to house the Fareway Grocery Store.  Osterling
Corporation built the new block.  The second story would house office space.  The store had double entrances and
cost $45,000.  The Fareway store remained until 1990.  Osterling Construction had the building contract.
