Thorp


This building was built in 1932.  It was a shoe shoe which operated before the 1931 earthquake.  It carried on until the early 1990's.  It then become a coffee shop.  Word has it that it will soon be opening as a pizza and desert bar.

To see an old photo of when it was a shoe shop have a look at this link :)
