609-610 GAY STREET
Knoxville, Tennessee

The building was originally a  two story structure faced with stone and housed the S&W Cafeteria until 1932.  The building burned and was re-built in the mid-1950's; adding a third floor and a decorative concrete block and metal panel facade.  During the 1987 renovation, the 1950's facade was removed and an adaptation of the original design was constructed using brick with stone trim to recreate the quoined piers, arched window heads and cornice details.
