Yea a real estate listing from 2021 says it's a fiveplex. It also asserts that it was built in 1930, but I looked at some old St Joseph city directories at the Library Edition of Ancestry.com and that does not appear to be true. A service station was located here into the 1950s at least.

July 1, 2017 - We are now heading to dinner on a busy night in Hong Kong. Today is the 20th anniversary that Hong Kong was returned to Mainland China and after dinner we walked through Temple Street known for shopping followed by a ride on the subway since our bus was stuck in traffic. We then met up with our bus and drove up Victoria Peak to watch the celebratory fireworks display.

Everybody loved GLAZED BRICKS IN NOVELTY COLORS, and we all clamored that GLAZED BRICKS IN NOVELTY COLORS would become ubiquitous in the U.S. architecture of commercial buildings, residential buildings, etc., for the next hundred-plus years. It did not happen, and we resent it!

This is a Polaroid photograph of the back door of my son's house in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The old metal awning over the door casts a long shadow on the white aluminum siding from the morning sun.

My grandparents bought this house in the late 1950s; and my mother spent most of her childhood here. When my grandma died, my mom and my uncle inherited the house and sold it to my son. I live here with him.

Gray was a weird choice of paint color for the first floor but I guess it looks okay. We have dark red brickwork atop a wall of tan bricks.

The local assessor website (for Beaver County, Pennsylvania) asserts that the building is from 1930. The latest city directory I was able to find for Rochester online is from 1927-1928, and the building was not yet listed at that time.

I see where the building formerly contained a cigar shop. The building's Beaver County property record card says it used to be a laundromat.

The signs "Del-Rich Co." and "Neat Stuff" would have us think that there are two businesses here, but no it's a single pawnshop named "Del-Rich Loan & Neat Stuff Antiques." Each pawned antique you buy will come with an implied sad story of the poverty and desperation for which the U.S. is renowned.
