Title	Bon Marche Department Store and K Street
Date	1950
Description	This August 28, 1950, photograph captures the northern stretch of K Street, between Tenth and Eleventh Streets. The Bon Marche department store at 1031 K Street was known to be one of the premier women’s clothing merchants in Superior California. It was established at the pictured location in 1933, when the structure was renovated for 150,000 dollars. It had been at Seventh and K Streets since 1913, having been established there by Emile and Mitchell Nathan. Above the store are the Parkview Apartments. Bon Marche was sold to the San Francisco-based Ransohoff’s in May 1956. To the left of the store are what would become Career Girl and the Julius Style Shop. The newly renovated and named Crest Theater, featuring James Stewart’s "Broken Arrow" sits to the left of the photograph at 1013 K Street.
