McCrory's

Originally, Fort Myers' McCrory's Store, part of a well-known national chain of five and dime stores, was located in the Earnhardt Building since 1914. In 1936, this McCrory's location was built as one of the few downtown buildings with an Art Deco flair. Typical five and dime stores of the period sold clothing and shoes, fabric, household items, toys, cosmetics, penny candy, and usually included a lunch counter or snack bar. Today, the exterior of the McCrory's building remains virtually identical to its original condition.
