     S&W Cafeteria was built at 52-58 Patton Ave. from 1927-1928. S&W Cafeteria was  Dale's Cafeteria in the 1940's then went back to S&W Cafeteria in 1945. The S&W Cafeteria was a very popular place to eat until it changed locations in 1974.

     The plaque on the sidewalk facing the cafeteria reads:  "Considered by many as architect Douglas Ellington's most outstanding design, the S&W Building was constructed for a pioneering cafeteria chain in 1929.  Ellington wrote that the art deco facade and interior had the deliberate 'note of gaiety' appropriate for this popular gathering place."

The S&W Cafeteria was listed on the National Register of  Historic Places in 1976.
