Grove Arcade
Built by Dr. Edwin Wiley Grove between 1926 and 1929, the elaborate, Tudoresque
building occupies a full city block with glazed terra cotta covering its
reinforced concrete and steel structure.
Dr. Grove planned a skyscraper tower to rise from the center of the Arcade
Building, but it was never built.
During WWII the Arcade Building was occupied and modified by the Federal
government and eventually housed the National Climatic Data Center until the
1990s.
After undergoing extensive renovations, the Grove Arcade reopened in 2002 as a
public market with several restaurants, fresh and prepared food vendors and
mountain craft shops.
