Sign still visible on the back of the Sibley Building. Sibley's, (originally Sibley, Lindsay & Curr) was a department store in downtown across from Midtown Plaza and another mainstay with McCurdy's in its heyday.
Sibley's first major store, with a 25 foot frontage, was marked as 1868 and grew into an enormous complex - "The Sibley Building".
All the Sibley's stores became Kaufmann's stores in 1991 and in 2006 the remaining Kaufmann's stores were renamed to Macy's.
