Many of the commercial buildings in both the Ardmore and Upper Darby commercial districts are adorned with Art Deco tiles and detailings. This former department store in Ardmore has decorations similar to the Anthony Wayne Theatre in Wayne, and the buildings on W. Garrett Road in Upper Darby.
Though the top of this building is left unappreciated by many who pass by it, it’s second floor and roof line are beautifully adorned in the art deco style of the 1920s. Although ornate, the use of it is restricted so the building does not appear gaudy.
