922-930 South Main Street; c. 1920; contributing

This is a single-story one-part commercial block brick building with little architectural detail. Two storefronts, altered from the original, retain traditional window-to-wall ratio.    The upper facade is unornamented, with flat parapet...

Modest 1-story brick commercial building which in the 1920 was the location of the Quality Bakery and S. R. Casey’s restaurant.  From 1920-1939 a portion of the Markwardt Bakery was in this building, operated by William “Quality Bill” Markwardt (1892-1989), who began as a baker in 1910 by borrowing a sack of flour and rose to be a community leader whose name is borne by a street in Joplin. By the 1950s the Hobart-Dayton Sales & Service Co., hotel suppliers, was located here.  

– National Register Nomination

The building appears to be in good condition and is currently vacant.
