Sold at auction in 2024, it’s the former May and Cooney Dry Goods Company Building built in 1913 to the plans of Edgar L. Love. It turned into J.C. Penney in 1934 for about 20 years before they bolted for the Mall. And it was also home of the Elbert H. Parsons Law Library in 1973. Why a legal library? Well, because the building, itself, learned a lot about the law from 1971 to 1973 when it was home to the Fox Cinema - an adult movie theater under constant legal challenges and padlocked in 1973 never to reopen.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 but, according to the records, not for cinematic excellence.
