General Notes
Note
Notes: Oppenheim & Collins, Company - Oppenheim & Collins, Co. was a purveyor of fine women's clothes. The company commissioned a large store to be built at 471 Fulton St., Brookly, New York in 1915. The building featured double height windows and a curved corner that would attract the attention of shoppers. Oppenheim & Collin's initials decorated a parapet on top of the curved tower at the very top of the building. E. J. Korvelle's a popular discount store later occupied the building.
