Collage of old photos of the department building in its original form

#ChapelSt remnant: the former Maples furniture emporium (1905, Arthur Fisher), converted into offices & apartments in the 1980s and losing the corner tower, beautiful bow windows, clock, verandah, and charm.

A reflective canopy soffit makes the ceiling look like the pavement

The world turned upside-down on #ChapelSt
