Year Built: 1915
Architect: Jesse B. Miller

Built in 1915, the same year as the Bennett Hotel to the south, this building was originally divided into a shop in the north half and a café to the south, with the ethnically diverse name ‘Pusateri & Spaulding’s Restaurant.’  The architect of the small building was Jesse B. Miller, designer of numerous downtown commercial buildings, as well as a large Haymarket warehouse (Hardy Building). 

From the mid-1940s until the ‘70s, a taxicab garage operated in this building and the north addition of 1949, resulting in substantial changes to the interior and storefronts.  The damaged building’s rehabilitation and return to retail uses in 1986 demonstrated both vision and commercial courage.  Dale Gibbs was architect for the ‘Burlington Arcade.’
