Commercial Building (Hollingsworth Ford Auto Showroom)
1930, R. Newell Waters. 221 W. Harrison Ave.
The former showroom and current dry cleaners, a block-long Art Deco structure, is in a style not readily associated with Waters, but one that he mastered, as evidenced in the raised pilasters expertly crafted in diagonally positioned, buff-colored, pressed-wire brick topped by cast-stone geometric motifs.
