A remarkably well-preserved cast iron facade with an anachronistic, but not incongruous 1950s era sign for a long-forgotten merchant. The store had obviously been vacant for an extended period of time, begging the question of how the facade survived as long as it did. Perhaps a complex estate issue, with the spirit of old Wan still slaving over a ledger and refusing to let go.
