Hans Schiller (1917-1998) was a German architect who fled Nazi Germany to Palestine then established himself in Marin County after World War II. He designed the remodel of the Purity Market building in 1958. The Googie zig-zag roofline and aluminum sashed windows were added to the pre-existing arched structure resulting in a lively expression of post-war suburban prosperity. Currently, it is the home of Livermore's beloved Do-nut Wheel, the only place in town that is open 24/7/365, offering donuts with mid-century ambiance. The Do-nut Wheel is next door to another Livermore icon: Baughman's Western Wear which rolls its plastic horse to the sidewalk during business hours.
