Commercial style building

Classification: Contributing. Historic Name: Slaughter Creamery/Sni-A-Bar Creamery. Architectural Style: Commercial. Construction Date: ca. 1927-1928. Period 3 of Harry S Truman’s Life: Developing Political Skills and Associations, 1920-1933. Tax Identification: 26-230-05-01. Legal Description: Old Town, part of lot 22. Description: Contributing one-story brick commercial building measuring 50' x 96'; barrel vault roof covered with rolled asphalt roofing material; building has steel trusses with exterior buff-colored textured brick. There is a curvilinear parapet wall on the front facade, which is symmetrical. Cast stone finials decorate the top of one corner, the mid-level flat wing, and the top of the arch center. The finial is missing from the northeast corner of the building. A long and narrow cast-stone cartouche is partially hidden by a later metal sign that hangs on the parapet wall with a vertical cast-stone element above it. A cast-stone belt course caps the storefront. The center bay contains glass double entrance doors, with a glass sidelight and transom area. A tall rectangular window opening is located in the small bay on either side of the entrance bay. High horizontal windows are located in each of the end bays. The ground level of the building rises to the west. A two-story hipped roof section with shed dormers is located on the west end of the building. The first floor is lower than the main floor and the second "floor" is three feet higher than the first floor. The west facade contains an entrance door that is reached by metal steps, three window openings, and a large boarded up area. This area appears to have been a truck entrance, and there is a correspondent curb cut and parking area that measures 30' x 50' in size. The rear two-story section of this building may have been built first and the street front section added in 1928. History/Significance: Constructed ca. 1927-1928, this building was first occupied by the Slaughter Creamery from 1928-1946. It then became the Sni-A-Bar Creamery, which operated through 1966. The building housed the Independence School of Hairdressing from 1966 to 1985. The Missouri State Motor Vehicle office operated from this space from 1985 to 1999, when a fire damaged the building. It has been vacant since that time.
