I remember that a upscale men's store occupied the main floor retail space of the Empire Building through the mid 1970's. I do not remember the elaborate cornice -- must have been removed as many buildings did in the 1950's . Can't remember the stores name...Capper and Capper was in the Whitney Bldg, Scholnick and Scholnick was at Grand River next to St. Al's Brooks Bros. was in the Penobscott. Anyone remember?
