Thanks so much DU. I knew about Lee Francis' place, but had never heard of T&M. I didn't realize they were one and the same. Leaves one wondering what "T&M" stood for...

Great photo of the Kress building and signage, now (sort of) restored, after having spent all those years looking pathetic, painted purple as Fredericks of Hollywood
