Description
The storefront of the Fashion Bootery at 702 K St. is shown in this 1942 photograph. Opened in December 1929, the $50,000 store became the ninth West Coast location for its Seattle-based company. The 20-by-100-foot structure possessed a high ceiling, from which hung black and white “modernistic” lighting fixtures, shaped in various different angles. Walls were painted tan, rose and green, with green-colored seating that could handle up to 60 patrons. In spite of a fire that required the attendance of three engines, the company recovered.
