Description
A Photograph of the exterior view of the Sunset-Vista Market showing three cars in front, taken from across the street, ca.1940. This white building is accented with what appears to be iron work running the length of the building, just above a long dark-colored awning. Above, the signs read "Sunset-Vista" with "Save as you Buy" signs on both the left and the right as well as "Ben-Hur Coffee" and "Drip, It agrees". The interior of the market is dark and obscured by three cars, the one to the left is a light-colored Jaguar. To the far right another store front is visible, with a sign that reads "Standard Varnish and Paint Co."
