david,
Sorry, don't know much about the overpainting issues, but I am interested in
the department store .... (love 'em, had my first real job in one, wrote
about post-WWII dept stores for my HP thesis ohsomany years ago, and if I
ever write a book in my lifetime, it will be about department stores, no
doubt!).
Where (city, country) is the department store located? Was it a flagship
store or a branch? Know who the architect was? Style? Are the windows
original to the building?
I thought that aluminum wasn't used as a building material until post WWII.
If constructed in 1938, your building would been a very early use of
aluminum, at least in a department store. Can you describe the windows? Got
any pictures?
