Postcard from the era showing the 1904 addition, which was built at the opposite end of the block. The colors may be a bit exaggerated.

This building survived for over 80 years. Once, while downtown on an errand long forgotten, I had a camera, and pointed it up at the building. Don't know why I did that. It was a normal everyday sight,and I'd little reason to think it wouldn't always be there.

That was before they started tearing everything down.

Two decades after this building was finished, Donaldson's announced a new building plan that must have made jaws drop all over town . . .
