Aerial Photograph Project Description and Background Constructed in c. 1950, the structure at 1602 NW 25th Street is significant for its value as one of the earliest "supermarket" grocery stores and Safeway Grocery Store locations in Fort Worth (Criterion 1). The property is significant because it is a rare example of Art Deco commercial design in Fort Worth's Northside (Criterion 2). Lastly, the property is significant because it bears a significant relationship to larger commercial area along NW 25th Street, which was an important center of commercial activity for the residential neighborhoods in Fort Worth's Northside during the early and mid-201h century (Criterion 5). In regards to Criterion 1, the structure at 1602 NW 25th Street is significant for its value as an early "modern" supermarket and Safeway Grocery Store locations in Fort Worth. Founded in 1911 in Los Angeles, the Safeway Grocery Store chain eventually expanded into Texas in the 1930s (El Paso). Supermarkets, or grocery stores as they are known today, were first created in the 1930s in New York. Supermarkets proliferated across the United States with the growth of automobile ownership and suburban development after World War II In 1950, John C. Hubbard constructed and opened this Safeway Grocery Store at location of 1602 NW 25th Street as part of the ongoing expansion of Safeway into Texas and the national expansion of auto -oriented grocery stores. The supermarket at 1602 NW 25th Street was one of the earliest supermarkets within Fort Worth's Northside, representing an innovative way for local residents to shop and provide food for their families that had not existed in this area of Fort Worth prior to World War II. In regards to Criterion 2, the property at 1602 NW 25th Street significant as an important example of a unique architectural style in Fort Worth. The structure is designed in the Art Deco style, which is unique to the Northside of Fort Worth. It is characterized by smooth wall surfaces, low -relief geometric designs on the front parapet, distinctive fluted pilasters, and a suspended canopy on the front facade. The property also retains the original site layout to accommodate auto -oriented customers, which was an important part of its early success This structure is an excellent example of adapting an international architectural style to create a truly unique local architectural specimen in Fort Worth. In regards to Criterion 5, the property at 1602 NW 25th Street bears a significant relationship to other commercial buildings along NW 25th Street. The commercial corridor along NW 25th Street has served Northside residents for well over 100 years. NW 25th Street is one of the main east -west corridors on the Northside, and remains so today, providing important commercial services (restaurants, auto -repair, dry goods and other services) to generations of Northside residents. Many of the commercial structures from the early 1920s- to the 1950s are still extant, particularly between Roosevelt Avenue and Columbus Avenue. The property at 1602 NW 25th Street, along with the surrounding neighboring historic commercial structures, are tied together by a common theme — providing commercial services to Northside residents. Integrity is the ability of a property to convey its significance. The designation of a property must not only be shown to have significance under Zoning Ordinance, but it also must have integrity. Within the concept of integrity for example, the National Park Service criteria recognizes seven aspects that define integrity. Seven Aspects of Integrity 1. Location. 2. Design. 3. Setting. 4. Materials. 5. Workmanship 6. Feeling. 7. Association. Staff visited the property on October 30, 2020 to assess the integrity of the property. In relation to the Seven Aspects of Integrity: 1. The structure is still in its original location from when it was constructed in 1950. 2. The design of the structure is still intact and identifiable. 3. The structure's original setting from the 1950s is still extant. The adjacent commercial corridor is still mostly intact. 4. The property's original materials are mostly intact. The original stucco siding, stone detailing on the front elevation, and suspended canopy are still extant. However, the stone has painted and the original storefront appears to have been replaced at some point in time. The paint is considered removable, and an appropriate storefront can be reinstated based on the design and form of the structure in the future. 5. The property still displays the physical evidence of workmanship from the 1950s, such as decorative fluting and detailed parapet. 6. The property still retains its feeling as a commercial building that was constructed to provide grocery and other commercial services to residents of the Northside and the Stockyards. 7. The property still retains its association with the development of the commercial corridor along NW 25th Street from the early 1920s through the 1950s.
