J. C. Penney–Chicago Store Building

The J. C. Penney–Chicago Store is a historic department store building in downtown Tucson, Arizona. Built in 1903 for the Los Angeles Furniture Co, it housed J. C. Penney by July 25, 1942. In 1957, after J. C. Penney moved to the west side of Stone Avenue just north of Pennington Street, Aaronson Brothers moved in. The Chicago Store moved in after the El Paso– based department store closed in 1967. This building had the last complete original vintage interior in Downtown Tucson with stamped tin ceilings and period woodwork until it was completely gutted in 2020-2022.
