Visible is an unidentified man wearing a light-colored shirt with rolled up sleeves and a bow tie standing near a sign at the corner of the building which reads, "PALOS VERDES MARKET / GROCERIES - FRUITS / MEATS - VEGETABLES / ICE CREAM / CIGARS / LUNCHES." The Gardner building, built by W.W. Gardner, was the site of the first classrooms, which opened September 8, 1925, and library in the community. The grocery store was later the location of the Palos Verdes Water Company, and the Palos Verdes Liquor Store. Date Built: 1925 Photo Source: Palos Verdes Homes Association
