308 Mary Street - Circa 1912.  This view is actually on Alice Street.  The building runs through the block and has two entrances.  This is by far the most boring Kress I have ever come across.  I'm sure, though, that at one time it had a nice canopy over the sidewalk with decorative details.

Kress Building - Daytona Beach, Florida

140 South Beach Street - This 1932 structure might be one of the most beautiful Kress buildings I've seen.  There is such a variety of texture and ornamentation and I love how it almost looks like a fortress and yet still manages to maintain an art deco feel.

The Kress building is L-shaped with facades on both Orange Avenue and Church Street.  These buildings can be found all over the country in various states of repair.  This particular one seems to be in fantastic condition.  The building dates from 1936 and was designed by Edward F. Sibbert.
