  • Exterior of the Grove Arcade with boards on windows and entrances. Cars parked along side the building. Photo looking south. Building was originally financed by E. W. Grove as a commercial mall, it was intended to have additional offices in a skyscraper on top of the existing structure. After the death of Grove, in 1927, building continued, but the skyscraper was never finished due to the poor economic climate. At the north end are a pair of double ramps leading to a large roof terrace. The original shop fronts were, for a time, filled in with brick. 1942-1996 occupied by Federal Government offices. In 2002 the building was renovated for farmers' market, shops, and apartments.
