Black & White Wednesday: Romey's

Yes, it is hot and muggy with effective temperatures predicted to be in the three digits.

We are inside with AC, coffee, freshly baked bread and a good book.  Later tonight will watch the Fever BB game. Weather promises to improve - cool off - later in the week.

In the middle of town, William H. Romey created in 1913 one of the largest structures in Richmond when he built the five story Chicago Style white terra cotta building to house his furniture store.

    Richmond, Indiana.

When Romey’s closed, Kessler’s TeamSports occupied the building.  Now Kessler’s has closed and the building is now vacant.
