Family Melody & Wallen’s Market (77 & 83 South Ocean Avenue, a.k.a. Hochheiser Five & Dime - 1929 & Sugal Building - 1928) illustrate how downtown commercial structures are three-dimensional masses. The arrangement of architectural elements like windows and doors determines form, as does the size and shape of a building lot. The form of these two buildings is very similar. Both are alike in size, have similar roof parapets, two second floor windows and plate glass covers the majority of their street level frontages. However, a large difference in plate glass height, second story window size, facade color and sign size makes these buildings look very different from one another.
