taxi ray 170 Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Took a couple of photos of this building, anyone know what it was originally, it looks almost art deco. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 I may be wrong but I have a vague memory of it being a furniture or carpet store at some point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
