D-59  PALMER BUILDING (Slappey Building) 317 WEST FORSYTH STREET DATE: 1923 ARCHITECTS: Marsh & Saxelbye BUILDER: Gerbrich & Haugard The mid-1920's saw a number of handsome
small-scale commercial buildings erected in the downtown area, many of
which were designed by local architects Marsh & Saxelbye.
These two-story structures were designed as multi-tenant rental
facilities (see D-60, D-91, and D-92). Each building was
decorated with cast-concrete ornamentation to accentuate its appearance
and to establish its own identity. The Palmer Building features
an arched entranceway topped by a cartouche and swag motifs. It
was built for the Palmer & Palmer Insurance Company.
