Although this is now a Spot Coffee Cafe it is not difficult to tell that it was a Chevrolet showroom in a former life.
In fact it was Hallman's showroom and started life in the early 1900s but was made-over in Streamline Art Deco style in 1936. The work done around that time is glorious. The clock, neon Chevrolet signs and that amazing arched window.

Who was the original owner of Hallman, and is there any history? I am trying to find the past owner.

Beautiful building! I live on East ave and miss the "Spot" when will it open?
Sorry mate! I just paid a fleeting visit to Rochester so I can't help you out with your questions. Maybe one of my readers will have some answers for you.
