Even though I've lived in the area for about 20 years, I never noticed this market until one day when I took a different route home from work. It definitely looks like it was built as a market, maybe in the 50s? Any idea what its history is? It's located at 4819 Temple City Blvd., right on the corner of Lower Azusa Rd.

The store at 4819 Temple City Blvd was a Walker's Market, which was bought by McDaniel's Markets in 1957. That store closed sometime between 1957 and 1960. More info on my post about McDaniel's at http://www.groceteria.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=1159
