   There was also one in Philadelphia, until a fire ruined it. It was later

   demolished and turned into a crappy shopping center. So sad! I remember walking home from school

   one day and seeing the smoke and flames coming out of the

   building.

   I find it kinda cool that a company would build all its building the same.

   Seeing your lineup of Sears-style buildings around the country,

   I immediately guessed the locally-famous Starbucks World Headqurters started life as a Sears

   building. Turns out it was Washington’s first Sears store. Still houses some Sears operations,

   actually. http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM1D1F

   That brown brick style one there is pretty common too. Or WAS. I remember there being one in KC, MO until the 80s when they tore it down. There is still one here in Atlanta though. It’s City Hall East, though soon they plan to move out. They say it’s loaded with asbestos. What will be it’s fate? Yuppie condos or the wrecking ball, and then….yuppie condos!
