The Gresham Block, located at 1403 Ninth Ave. S.E., was built in 1912 by John Stewart Dismorr, a developer, investor and colonial agent.

The building housed a grocery store, dairy and a café.

It later became an apartment building, but that closed earlier this year and it’s been vacant for the past several months.
