Howdy, VT'ans:
This would be a "if you see something, say something" cautionary tale.
I first saw this building at 6203 East Beverly Street in 2012 and was tickled to see such coolness in an otherwise unremarkable stretch of residential. Fast forward three years and the building's new owners have, ahem, "improved" it. More details below.
Cheers,
Les.

Conversation with a neighbor to the property in 2012 revealed that this building had at one point been a Boy Scouts den (or lodge). Most recent usage was as a childcare, which new owners intend to continue.
Assessor lists the main building's construction date as 1960, size ~3000 sqft. There is also a modular building on site.
Sold in 2014, the new owner(s) removed the "accordion pleat" front overhang and replaced it with a somewhat less interesting short sloping shingled overhang with scuppers where the bottoms of the "pleats" had been.
