Modestly protruding triangles form a pattern of slender "canopies" that project from alternating concrete blocks.
This is in Jackson, Michigan. The blocks' paints are light pink and light yellowish pink. The light yellowish pink area is sloppy-looking and blob-shaped.
I WONDERED: Is this building from the 1950s? The 1960s? It is probably not from the 1970s, right? It is definitely not from the 1940s, shit no.
Therefore I HAVE REVIEWED, online, Polk city directories for the city of Jackson from the late 1930s to 1960 (the latest available online, apparently).
And WHEREAS:
• a building named the "Gates Building" was listed at the site (204 S. Jackson St.) during that entire time period; and
• the 1930s is too early for a building that looks like this; and
• UPON REVIEW of pictures of the building's front façade;
I HAVE JUDGED that the building is probably from the 1960s.
The building was demolished in 2019.
