Mark's Mens Wear, 1321 Main Street / 1625 Main Street / 1219 Bull Street: March 2018 no comments

Here are some pictures from commenter Allen J. Rivkin recalling a bit of downtown history, his father's store Marks
The first picture is from the grand opening at 1321 Main Street in October 1963:
As nearly as I can tell, 1321 Main Street would have been just after the vacant storefront next to Cantina 76, which is 1307 Main, and before the SC Education Lottery storefront, which is 1333. However there's really no way to do a true comparison due to the demolition.
The store moved from 1321 Main to 1625 Main in 1980:
There is apparently an ongoing project to repurpose 1619-1625 Main, which you can read about here.
In 2017, the store moved to 1219 Bull Street, the former location of Ritter's Furs:
