Samuel L. Fox Building, 1929

Entrepreneur Samuel Fox built this four-story structure for half of a million dollars.  It was intended to accommodate his Lion Clothing Company which was the sole tenant until 1984.  It boasts 16-foot ceilings, antique oak wood paneling, heraldic lions in full relief, and an over-hanging tile roof.  The building was recognized as an artistic masterpiece and a merchandising success.
