Shepherd-Sloss building, 20th Street South and Highland Avenue, 1928, Charles H. McCauley.

Elaborate on the exterior, the building originally housed traditional commercial businesses such as a drug store, a meat market and beauty parlor, and also an exclusive dress shop named Patricia's. A large Buffalo Rock sign; these were taken down in 2004 during repair of the roof and have not re appeared, much to the sorrow of the local residents.
