1957–1997

The catalog showroom with the trick buildings.

A catalog showroom like Service Merchandise — browse the display, fill out a slip, collect your box — but best remembered for its wild "de-architecture" stores, with facades that looked like they were crumbling or peeling away. It liquidated in 1997.
