Must I really rehash this subject?
Well... It was built in 1915 as Heer's Department store and remained a department store until 1995. Since then the building has been vacant. I was in there a few times in 2005 before it was gutted. A few friends if mine have been up there since the gutting too. Anyway if you want more information just do a general search on Heer's.

No, no, no, Willard. You have it all wrong. The Heer's building was originally an Aztec temple to the sun, built around 5,000 B.C. It is estimated there were at least 3,000 human sacrifices a year. After the Spanish defeated the Aztecs and stole all their gold, the temple was transformed into a Catholic church from 1612 to 1730, and then the Pilgrims moved in and opened Ye Olde Haberdashery and Whatnot Shoppe. Ok, I'm boring myself. Anyone want to pick this up and run with it?

I believe it was Dave's Disco Palace for a short while in the 70's.
