| I don't know when this McCrory's in New Orleans opened. I would guess late 1940s or early 1950s. The store closed in the late 1990s. The original red, white, and silver Canal St. facade has been adapted several times. The second photo above shows the surviving McCrory's sign on the side of the building. Since 2014, the building has housed the Ruby Slipper Cafe. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. [map] |

This McCrory's building in Galveston has been vacant for many years and is endangered. The Beissner Building was built in 1907 as office space. The ground floor housed McCrory's from 1930-1997. [map]
I assume this painted ghost sign indicates that this building housed the McCrory's in Waco. However, the "C" details might indicate the building housed something else originally. [map] |
| department store? Paris, TX |
 |
| These signs look like they were installed by a major department store. There was a Woolworth nearby and a Kress next door. My guess would be that this was a McCrory's, Kresge's, or a J.J. Newberry which all had red signs like this but I can find no evidence about any of those stores existing in Paris. [map] |
