Scope and Content

The M. Marks & Sons store opened on Sept. 28, 1891, as, in the words of The News & Courier, "one of the handsomest and costliest establishments in the South." The structure stood at the site until 1955, when it was demolished to accommodate a modern department store. In the 1990s, the building was converted to a small mall, known as the Marion Square Mall, which housed Millennium Music and the building then became referred to as the Millennium Music building. File contains newspaper articles (including DYKYC); photocopy of photograph (source and year not identified); graduate student report (Jessica Bolebiowski and Matt Pelz, 2007) on the history of the building/property, which includes historical and chain-of-title research, maps, photos, and other supporting documentation [plats moved to flat cabinets]; BAR application for rooftop addition, including photocopies of photos and architectural drawings (2001) (no indication of approval status). No photos on file. Image in this record is from document in the Property File.
