The b/w photos are from an ad in the 14 Aug 1938 Amarillo Sunday News-Globe for the Dempster Mill Manufacturing Co. at 98 S. Polk St. The color photo shows the same building today. The company in 1938 was manufacturing and selling windmills, which probably explains why there is a windmill in the background of the b/w photos.
Notice that the building has not changed much in the past 76 years since the b/w photo was taken. An engraving on the building states that the building was built in 1925, which means that the building is almost 90 years old.
