Muchos gracias!

In the new issue of Cite there is an article about the old Sears on South Main at Wheeler called "When Good Buildings Go Bad". The article is about how the beautiful old art deco building was remodeled to look like a giant metal storage shed. It says that the metal cladding was added in 1968. In the old HAIF I remember there was a thread about Sears, and someone posted some old photos of Sears shortly after the facade had been added. I could swear that they were from the early-mid 1950s, not the late 1960s. Can anyone verify if this is correct? Thanks.

Any chance you could find the color picture of the old Sears Store on South Main?

It used to be hosted at the above site. It looks like a wonderful old postcard. I am trying to find Sears and Roebucks nostalgia information for a friend who is interested in Sears history. He would enjoy seeing that, and I would like to see the the original postcard. I used to go to a Sears store like that back in the 50's.

All I can find is the thumbnail:

Many Thanks
