Amerige Block

(Retail Shops - 109-123 E. Commonwealth Avenue)

Built between 1919 and 1920 by Fullerton co-founder George Amerige, this single-story brick commercial block is typical of business buildings of the 1920s. The most striking features are the glazed tile façades, which carry a different design at each storefront. The Ameriges lived upstairs in the corner building until the late 1930s.
