History and architectural features[edit]

Built between 1887 and 1892, Graff's Market was a three-story, wood building that was erected on a stone foundation in Indiana, Pennsylvania.

Designed with a cast-iron storefront in a High Victorian Italianate-style, the building measured thirty feet by fifty-seven feet, six inches, and had a flat roof.

The building housed the Graff family business for more than ninety years.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]

The structure has since been demolished; a modern two-story brick office building was erected in its place.
