The History
In the 1920's Simpson Motors operated here as a part Chevrolet dealership and part Pure Filling Station. This location was then the Quality Shop clothing store owned by Juanita Snow Rogers. It later became the Old Flower Shop, and then once again became a clothing store. Per City Councilman, Blake Bell, his mother (Sharon Snow Bell) told him that she and many of her cousins worked at her Aunt Juanita’s store (the Quality Shop) when they were younger. The Quality shop very much exuded a family-run atmosphere.
The Architecture
This is a Mission style building with stucco over brick. It is a flat roof with S-style pent roof and mission style parapet. It has large fixed storefront windows.
