A Bit of History... Constructed in 1930 and designed by architect John G. Fleming, S.H. Kress began to build five-and-ten cent stores on America 's Main Streets shortly after the turn of the century. By World War II, Kress stores formed a distinctive part of the downtown streetscape in more than two hundred towns and cities in thirty states including Hawaii. The S.H. Kress Building was decorated with terra cotta elements from the renowned Gladding McBean firm; the structure boasts one of the City's finest Art Deco facades. A belt course above the second floor windows has lettering spelling out "S.H. Kress & Co". S.H. Kress Department store went out of business in 1992 at this location. This building has been completely renovated and now serves as a Legal Center. The mural in the lobby depicts Justice, Agriculture and Industry in Stockton, and is painted in the Art-Deco style seen in Radio City Music Hall and the Empire State Building. The artist, Russell Buckingham, is a renowned painter and muralist from New York City.  Click to Enlarge Bank of Stockton Historical Photograph Collection |
