The building was 15,000 square feet, had a gabled roof, palo verdes rock and liberal areas of glass for variety in design. The contractor was George Mason who also designed the structure. He also designed the Rio Vista Don Quick which opened about the same time and was an identical looking building. Today Lira's maintains the lot as the Big Valley Foods store did fall into disrepair by keeping it clean and well maintained. However the building has been demolished. Don Quick first occupied the former Black's Grocery Store location. (Ref: https://www.groceteria.ca/board/viewtopic.php?t=830)
