The same building in 1950. The sign over the door says "The Clearing House Of Information On Public Figures".

By 1973 it had become Holly's Harp, which I think was a clothing store.

Still there today.

There is something totally strange about these images and it all has to do with the part of the building that has dormers on the roof. It's almost as if the negatives had been flipped with a couple of them, but that can't be the case as the names appear normal and not reversed. So what gives with this building?
