Then and Now  The Crawford Block by bkbinthecity

Then and Now The Crawford Block

The Crawford Block has been at this location since 1912. Built by Herbert Howard Crawford as a home for his Tent and Awning Co.
After he closed his business the building became home to Freads Chocolate and then the Farmers Supply Co.
In 1935 Strathcon Furniture moved in and remained here until 1966. The Furniture sign can still be seen on the side of the building.
Today it is home to Holy Rollers which is a cocktail bar. As well Gravity Pope which is a shoe store is also in the building
Very cool shot! Great to see the comparison!

It seems not much has changed in this great old building, except the name. I like the black and white and color diptych.

I`ve learned: in shopping streets alway`s look upstairs to the first floor and above. There are often the old style to be seen. Love the B+W the best.
