1936 Zenith Radio store link
 
While Googleing around on the internet late one night, I discovered this site. It is a Chicago historical site, with a article on this new "in 1936"Deco? Moderne? building built specifically for a Zenith Radio retailer. Do any of our Chicago AK members know if this building still exists? Doug?
Here is a link to the site with the pictures, Logan

I think i might found the answer to my own question. I continued to Google and found a radio collector who had Zenith paper collectables and in his collection is a old post card with that store on it. the bottom of the card said corner of Michigan blvd and Huron St.. Well Google maps has a new feature called street view that allows you to see what it looks like as if you were standing at that corner and rotate around to see all sides. It looks like the land that the store was located on is Now.....Hold your breath! An Apple computer store! Funny how things change yet they stay the same.
here is a link to the post card, http://www.oldradiozone.com/zenith_store.html , Logan
