Often while sitting at the light at Olive Street and North Compton Avenue, I’ve looked to the west and seen these two buildings. I finally decided to take a look at them more closely. The first building on the right was actually the location of a western outpost of the famous Tony Faust’s restaurant.

The building on the left has an interesting history, as well.

City records say it was built in 1890, but I question whether that is accurate or not.

It has a beautiful terracotta front that only shows small amounts of damage.
