I would throw the mills brothers block in here to help explain another building I had not known about or seen in images until very recently: Casino Theatre. I was most fond of the black building housing duggers with the overhanging bay window and small arch. The same feature appears to be popular for a certain era of haligonian buildings, such as the casino theatre renderings by the architect. Not sure the final result ended up looking exactly like this though since I can't find pre ww2 images, apparently it went through renovations in 1941 & 1963 and I know the bay window does not appear in images from the 1950/60s. I'm wondering how common this type of bay window was at the time, and am having a hard time thinking of other buildings with the same feature still standing in the city today.
