A fire in 1941 seems to have hastened the art moderne facade we now see at 928 Chapel, a two story commercial block at the corner of Chapel and Temple Streets. Notice the ziz-zag details on window and door headers, fluted pilasters, shell-medalions, decorative grill-work. Subway has retained many of the first floor details.
Erected by the Malley Company - and still owned by the heirs of that estate - whose large department store was located across the street. With four active retail tenants, this subtle yet appealing structure anchors a very active corner and provides a range of food and beverage options.
