”214 California Avenue, Santa Cruz Market, Western False Front, 1908
Santa Cruz Market was built in 1908 and has been in continuous use as a grocery store since its inception. It is a rare neighborhood commercial building associated with the expansion of Santa Cruz to the west during the first part of the twentieth century. The False Front façade of the market is representative of buildings in the Western United States constructed half a century earlier, but often revived as a part of the nostalgia for the early frontier. The façade was damaged in the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake but was restored in 1990.”
