1889–1902. 109–133 Norfolk Ave. SW

Adjacent to the railroad tracks, this row of five warehouses, two and four stories in height, was constructed to store shipments of food in transit. They are of post-and-beam timber construction with tie-rods and exterior brick walls. Two of the warehouses have stepped gables featuring the corbeling typical of Roanoke's turn-of-the-twentieth-century commercial architecture. The buildings have mostly been renovated for office use.
