Berry-Burk Co – Richmond, VA
The sign is for Berry-Burk and Company, a clothing retailer that dates back to the 1879. The Berry-Burk & Company name was born through mergers and buyouts in 1931. The sign sits atop the Berry-Burk store that was known as “The Fashion Center of the South.” The Renaissance Revival style building was built in 1928. In 2006, the building was converted to “luxury” apartments homes. The redevelopment of the building incorporated the Berry-Burk name. The building is located in the Grace Street Commercial Historic District that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. – EC Leatherberry – Flickr Photostream
