D.W. Griswold Co. in Spokane, Washington

by John Margolies

Capture an important part of Pacific Northwest history through this picture by acclaimed roadside photographer John Margolies depicting the D.W. Griswold Co. in Spokane, Washington. Taken in the typical Margolies way of shooting (frontal shot, clear light and direct framing), this picture shows an example of a mid-century auto seat cover business with its pastel-colored Art Deco tile designs, roll-up garage door and “SEAT COVERS” window sign. On the right side of the picture stands one of the well-known landmarks of Spokane, the Benewah Milk Bottle Building.

A great art print for collectors of vintage roadside Americana, vintage commercial buildings and typography.
