The Kress in Brunswick was built in 1909. In 1930, Edward F. Sibbert enlarged and remodeled the building. The store became a McCrory's in 1980. When this photo was taken in 2009, the building was partially occupied by Wachovia Bank. The rest of the building was vacant. For more, see this website. [map]
This Kress in Atlanta appears to be from the 1930s. There is a former McCrory's department store next door. There was three other Kress stores in Atlanta. I believe they have been demolished. [map] |

The Kress in Savannah was designed by E.J.T. Hoffman. It was built in the 1920s. The store became a McCrory's in 1980. The building was restored around 2003. A GAP store is the main tenant now and the upper floors are lofts. For more, see this website. [map] |
