Adorable green vitrolite facade with curved windows and metal accents.
Cheever’s Cafe, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
from Roadside Architecture
The built-up corners reminds me of water shooting up from a fountain.
From Roadside:
Cheever’s Café occupies the former Cheever’s Flowers. The building appears to be 1930s or 1940s.
