Carson Pirie Scott & Co., Peoria, Illinois


Block & Kuhl's flagship store in downtown Peoria was
widely known as "The Great White Store"

The store received a modified facade with modern
facing, and, as Carson Pirie Scott & Co.,
maintained its flagship status.

The store was in fact an anchor in Peoria's downtown,
and was the main store of Carson's Peoria division.
