--------------------------
This dated building is known as the Grocery Warehouse and erected in 1900. The following text is taken from the G Street Historic District National Register of Historic Places nomination form to describe this building's history:
ID No. 027 - Historic Name: Grocery Warehouse
Built: c. 1900
Built during the period of significance, this building was used as a grocery warehouse from construction through at least 1930. By 1947 the "Wonder Bur," a tavern/restaurant had opened at the site and continues to operate here today. Like the warehouse at 120 SW H Street, to the west, this building was historically only half-depth and a concrete block addition of unknown date has been added to the rear [north] elevation. Although possessed of a well-designed neon sign and architecture banding along the projecting canopy, this building does not related the original development of the site or the G Street Historic District. Compatible in scale and general appearance, various alterations to the primary facade have substantially impacted the ability of this resource to convey its original historic associations.
