I don’t know the exact measurement, Fred, but I would guess “really, really, really long”!
I’m not 100% sure, but I suspect the building is still there. If you go to this image, it looks like it could have been a Woolworth’s.
Wrong Woolworth’s. The Ross is on the 700 block of Broadway. This is at 431 S Broadway. The building is still there and per the images on google street view, some of the original flooring might be inside too.
Can you imagine ordering something that’s made clear down at the end of this counter?! You might still be waiting!
Here’s a linen postcard (love them!) of this same shot:

Thanks, Martin.

The old Red Car line stopped behind the Woolworth’s. You walked down some stairs, through the doors and you were right there at the counter.
How very convenient!
How long was the lunch counter?
What happened to the building?
THANKS!

The building is still there. It’s now a Ross Store

Thanks, Nora!
