Old Penney’s Building
Built
in 1923, the Loughran Building, commissioned by Frank Loughran was designed
by Richard Sharp Smith and Albert Keith Carrier, for use as a department
store by Denton’s from Chicago, IL. Denton’s
sold the building to J.C. Penneys in 1936 where they remained until they
moved in the early 1960's. Bon Marche moved into the building until they
closed in the early 1970's. The building remained vacant until the latest
renovation by Public Interest Projects.
