Figure 14. Edna Griffin Building, originally the Flynn Building, constructed in 1885. A plaque is located on this building noting a staged sit-in at Katz Drug
Store, the second primary building tenant, after Edna Griffin and others were denied ice cream due to their race. The protest led to the arrest of the manager, a
conviction upheld by the Supreme Court. (Source: Jacob Couppee)
