Another shot: it has a sign. That must have been fun to install.

It’s looking older and sootier, although perhaps that’s just the effect of the photo’s tone. Or the Depression. On the extreme left in the background: the Radisson, which would survive the Dyckman in many ways.

At least our friend the small three-story building is looking better; it’s cleaned up and ready to rent. It even seems to have a new swath of sidewalk – which looks very wide, by the way. Morris’ Credit Jeweler has changed its name, thanks perhaps to Morris’ inability to get Credit.

Some photoshoppery on the sign brought out details washed out by the 8:48 AM sun - I'd say it's Elbert's Restaurant. Eulbert's? Albert's?

Warners, on the other hand, was a long-standing brand in the Twin Cities. A few remain.

One last detail - note how the pavement by the clock seemed to be grooved, or etched with lines? Those are actually glass blocks, embedded in the sidewalk. I think they admitted light to the area below. As a child, they were a great tantalizing mystery.
