By the time Cleveland Planning Commission Intern Don Petit arrived at the southwest corner of Lorain and Fulton in 1993 to photograph historic buildings for the City's NRHP application to create the Lorain Avenue Commercial District, the Queen Anne style, two and one-half story Gerstacker Building, built on the southwest corner of the Lorain-Fulton intersection in 1886, had been razed. His camera instead caught the image of a one-story building on the corner built in the 1970s as a "Taco Luke" Mexican restaurant . By 1993, Taco Luke was long gone and the one-story building on the corner of Lorain and Fulton was now the sales office of a used car lot. It is fortunate that Petit snapped this photo when he did, because the life of that one-story building was even shorter than that of the Gerstacker building. Today, there is only a parking lot on that southwest corner of Lorain and Fulton. | Source: 1993 City NRHP application for the Lorain Avenue Commercial Historic DistrictDownload Original File
