George Marston's Sixth Store
A six-story sensitive addition matching the main building was added in 1954 on the north side of Fifth Street. Its floors opened directly into the 1912 store and included a buffet luncheon room for customers and a cafeteria for employees. It was here that the famous Marston's Tea Room opened in 1956. Both buildings were later demolished to make way for a parking garage.
