Ennor’s Restaurant Building
James W. Plachek (1923)
2128–2130 Center Street

Constructed at the cost of $55,000, Harvey W. and Marie Edith Ennor opened “a restaurant, banquet hall, bakery, confectionery, ice cream factory, ice plant, heating and steam plants, grocery, butcher shop, and the necessary places to dispense the many foods manufactured on the premises,” at this location, according to the Chamber of Commerce periodical The Courier. Ennor’s remained it this building only a few years. It was eventually followed by True Blue Cafeteria (1934–1941), Breuner’s Furniture & Appliances (1945–mid-’60s), Barker-Tilton Furniture Co. (mid-’60s), Attic Baby News Store (1967–1970), and the Act One & Two Cinema (1970–2006). The building’s general contractor was John Pierce Brennan, who 36 years later would build a restaurant of his own—the famous Brennan’s at the foot of University Avenue.
