Never mind, I get it. They had a store corner Fulton and Bridge. The new store was just an expansion of the old store. However, the article I refereced states that the balcony (mezzanine) level stretched all the way form Lawrence to Bridge. Either t hat was hyperbole, as the building currently occupies only half the block, or perhaps the "expansion" was later reduced back to only the new footprint.
You briefly describe their first store on Bridge Street, and the subject building - built 1914-1915 - as the replacement. But in 1922, a newspaper article describes the Bridge Street location as being recently expanded, and the largest of their stores. Were both open simultaneously, or is there an error somewhere?
