Snapshot Missouri! - The Zurcher Building


A number of sources have indicated that the Zurcher building in Marceline, Missouri was in fact the architectural inspiration for Disneyland's own Coca Cola Corner.  There are certainly structural similarities that lend credence to the supposition, but thematically there is unfortunately no connection; a jewelry store operated in the building from 1903 until 1973.  It is now home to a Mexican restaurant.  Coincidentally, there is a long faded mural that advertised Coca Cola on the side of an adjacent building.

Before the Mexican restaurant opened a few years ago it used to be a photography studio or soemthing photography related, and near the windows were framed photos of Walt and Roys return in 1956.
