French Millinery Emporium owned by Joseph Zahara, who had previously worked at the Bon Marche in Paris and the John Lewis in London. Zahara's business occupied three buildings here. The Bon Marche was founded in 1904. Zahara employed A.Sinclair O'Connor to unify the disparate facade with an art-deco treatment across all three buildings. In the 1930s Zahara advertised that he had a million hats in stock and as well as a tearooms there was an indoor minuature golf course provided for the use of customers.
