McCrory's Department Store

McCrory's 5 and 10 Cent store, located at 358 E. Main Street on the northwest corner of Linden Avenue and Main Street, was constructed in the Neoclassical Two-Part Commercial style between 1925-1926, likely by McCrory Stores' New York corporate architect, William Simpson. The two-story brick and terra cotta building features contemporary metal and glass storefronts with roll-up awnings, a wide signboard, and a carved stringcourse of egg and dart/running dog detailing on the east side. Originally housing the Trianon Ball Room on its second floor, it was later purchased by Murphy's 5 and 10 store and operated until the 1980s. Today it serves as the location for Mac's Attic Flea Market, showcasing a distinctive stairway leading into the basement sales area upon entry.
