QHTP - We're Too Late

Sign of the times
Los Altos Town Crier

"As Los Altos crews began demolition Tuesday on the old Quonset hut-style building at the corner of Main and First streets, the building's history began to emerge: A sign for Gordon's Fine Foods, a store that closed decades ago. According to city historian Don McDonald, the business opened in January 1948."

My first reaction: "there's a Quonset under that thing?" A different view provides a slightly better glimpse at the underlying form.

Wasn't there, or isn't there, a Quonset across Blueberry from Steller, effectively camouflaged by a rectilinear facade?
