Safeway No. 266 – Austin

Address1109 I-35, Austin TX
Year Built1965
StatusDemolished
StyleSafeway “Marina” modern variant
ArchitectWurster, Bernardi, & Emmons/Tod Hart
NotesThe undulated barrel vault roof of Safeway’s iconic “Marina” style was still prominent, even though the floor-to-ceiling windows had been covered among other alterations over the years. This was a modified design of the original “Marina” store (1959) in San Francisco, which is still in operation today. This appeared to be Austin’s last standing Safeway of this design, and it was demolished in 2019 to make way for apartments.
