The market is still there with many newer buildings added and now called a shopping center. Looks like a bus stop bench is in the spot where the tiki was located.

Looks like it could be by the same hand

Could be, the body styles seem similar. I wonder if the above depicts THIS place:

That color photo above sure looks like a "Tiki House"! - though the Tikis' styles are much more varied than in this ad. And I'm not sure, are they palm or tree fern in the color photo?
