Today on Now and a Long Time Ago, GM merges the view of Dean and Deluca with the previous tenant of this historic structure: Southern Distributors Auto Parts (click on the photo for a larger shot).
This store occupied the building from 1945 until the mid-1970s. The old part of the photo above is from 1966. The building is actually owned by the city, although it’s held under a 99 year lease.
A federal mandate requires that the building be operated as a market. So after the auto parts moved out, the city attempted to have a farmers market. That promptly failed (early 1980s Georgetown wasn’t the foodie place it is now). In 1992 Dean and Deluca moved in and has been there ever since.
