9. Historical significance (include explanation of themes checked above)
where Baskin-Robbins is now located, an alleyway existed between the
two blocks built in 1927 and 1928. This alley was filled in with a single store
unit between 1935 and 1938. After completion, it was occupied by Hood Creamery
store for many years.
S. Lawrence Whipple, 1984
