Demolition of George Adams Mercantile

Wilbur Murray examines the structure of a historical building on South Vernal Avenue that is being razed to make room for the expansion of Vernal Furniture Co. Paul Watkins is on the roof doing demolition work. At his time, the building was estimated to be sixty-five to seventy years old. It was purchased by Lee Adamson, of Vernal Furniture, from Mrs. George Adams. It was rented to Fashion Cleaners from about 1936 to 1944. It had also been used as a restaurant and store.
