What a fun roof! But it's so dirty. They should hose that off.

See, this is why I DO this! If only I had shown up earlier to take a photo of the old roof! This is a kind of amateur preservation society, and I need help! Augh!

actually, I've lived in the area for over 40 years and can remember when this building was the garden department of the adjacent hardware store (originally family-run company called Kerm Rima). The "tent" was blue and white and I always read it to evoke a garden tent or a pavilion. While outrageous in its scale and context, it really did not have much to do with googie per se.
