“This is the Eastman Kodak Store before the government forced them to close, because you can’t manufacture, wholesale and retail. This was on Adams St. Between Laura & Hogan Streets. 1954.” LS
The building still stands but it would be easy to miss just driving past it since most of the character has been erased with a flat surface covering the facade where the upper floor windows used to be. The Eastman Kodak Stores, Inc. storefront at 129 West Adams Street and the Lahn’s dress store next door have been combined into one storefront called Scottie Stores. If you look up to the roofline, the crest with the EKS initials (Eastman Kodak Stores) is the only remaining trace of the building’s origins.

On Adams…I’ll have to look it up, see who own’es it & see if the facade is still under the “inprovement” usually it is. Need a project, do you have the exact address? DB
It is 129 West Adams Street. Let me know what you find out.
