| Buffums' main store at Pine and Broadway in Long Beach consisted of an older, 1914 building (right) and a six-story 1925 addition. |
 |
| Buffums' imposing store dominated the Pine Street retail landscape in Long Beach from 1904, and later spread throughout southern California. |
 |
| Buffums' recognized the value of convenient parking and in 1941 built a parking garage, known as "Buffums' Autoport." |
 |
| Buffums' Store for Men was a 1941 addition south of the main store along Pine Avenue. |
 |
| In 1964, Buffums' leased and remodeled an adjacent building to the west, thereby creating "Buffums' Broadway Shops." |
 |
| In the 1960s, Buffums' opened a new "Varsity Shop" for young men across the alley from the Store for Men on Pine Avenue. |
