Highsmith Archive, Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division.; Built in 1925, the ornate two-story arcade was home to high-end retail shops on its first floor, while the second level offered office space for doctors, lawyers and other professionals. As downtown Huntington struggled with the competition presented by Huntington Mall, retailers began disappearing. Once a shop at the arcade was vacated, it generally stood empty. Gradually, the offices also emptied. In 2014, a developer announced plans to turn the building, including its arcade, into condominiums.; Title, date and keywords based on information provided by the photographer.; Forms part of: West Virginia Collection within the Carol M.
