Founded by Abraham Polsky in 1885, the
company moved to its Main and Center Street site in 1930. One
of Akron's leading department stores, it helped to initiate
further commercial development south along Main. The building
illustrates the Art Deco style of architecture.
The first story consists of display windows
shaded by a marquee which runs along the entire length of the
building. The top windows are all embellished with
ornamentation above and below. Between original windows are
buttresses which extend above the building. An addition has
been made to the rear of the building.
