When: 1915
Why: Oppenheim & Collins was a purveyor of fine women’s clothing. The company commissioned this large store with impressive double-height windows and a curved corner that would attract the attention of shoppers. Oppenheim & Collins’ initials decorate a roundel on the parapet atop the curved tower. E.J. Korvette’s, a popular discount department store, later occupied the building.
