According to one source I read, when the I. Magnin & Co department store decided in 1928 to open in Beverly Hills, they chose to build at 9626 Wilshire Blvd. But this photo makes it look like they moved into three consecutive stores. Either way, it’s a heck of a lot prettier than the monolith that stands there now.
I. Magnin was my fav store when we lived in the area – really classy clothes at prices we would find unbelievable today.
Love this style of architecture. Shame knowing these quaint buildings are long gone.
Thanks Martin.
