13. Paragraph Briefly Summarizing Known History Of The Property: South Boulevard was once known as the major commercial corridor US 21. Thus, automobiles and trucks became the principal means of transportation through this area. Inevitably, restaurants, eateries, and drive-ins such as South 21 became part of the streetscape. Modern architecture was becoming more popular around the 1950's and architects were not timid as they had once been to use the revolutionary building tools of metal, cement, plastic, and plywood.
