This Kress was built in the early 1960s. The store became a McCrory's in 1980. In 2009, the building was partially occupied by Wachovia Bank. The rest of the building was vacant. After that, the building housed a Wells Fargo Bank. When this photo was taken in 2021, the building was being remodeled for condos. There are plans to open a rooftop restaurant. The ground floor will house a rock climbing gym and Wells Fargo. The red sign will be reinstalled. I don't know if the panels will be reinstalled when the construction is done.
