It seems entirely possible; county records give a build date of 1924 for the structure at 3601 S. Western Avenue. However, in the 1928 photo it seems that most of the property is just a loggia-like open space with no actual building as such. Maybe they added in some lath and plaster between the original posts, but if they did that, it's rather odd that such an extensive remodel isn't listed on the record.

If anyone is driving by the corner of Western and 36th, perhaps you'll stop by and check out the interior of the market for clews (as the papers used to spell it).
