Description

524 Edmond - Kennedy Pure Food Market, Katz Drug Store, US Post Office Substation, Esthers Fabrics, Fabric Outlet, Hunterland Mall Earlier Architecture Assessment The building permit for this structure was taken out by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance in 1939 for $20, 000. The modern styling of the building is unusual for this area, however, it would not contribute significantly to the architectural integrity of the surrounding historic area composed largely of 19th and early 20th century commercial structures.
