Bowen's Cafe replaced Tatum Furniture on the left side-ground floor of the Florey building toward the late 1950s.
No pictures of Bowen's Cafe have been located for this project, but an amusing ad surfaced in a 1966 ad to The Monroe Journal newspaper (published 9 miles away in Monroeville).
Jimmy and Fredia Tatum describe the cafe below.
Just to the right of the furniture store/Bowen's Cafe building, a set of stairs led to apartments and doctors' offices upstairs, most notably the office of Dr. S.A. Weeks.
