Adam N.Favro entire current facade of the building,photos of the entire facade prior to the unauthorized
President work taking place, or photos that provided context of the neighborhood as required.

Vice President p
storefront addition that was made between 1948 and 1950. It is located in the West Side
Dmitriy Yermolayev Historic District and an Architectural Review District.
