Originally occupied by the upscale Halle
Department Store from 1910-82, the
building is faced in glazed terracotta.
The store was famous for creating the
beloved Christmastime character, “Mr.
Jingeling.” Later, the building was renovated
(preserving many original details)
for office, commercial and residential
use. During the late 1990s, the Halle
Building’s facade was used as the location
of the fictional Winfred-Louder store
on “The Drew Carey Show.”
