History

[edit | edit source]

Issacs Building was built in 1913 and it housed a Reich and Lièvre in 1917.[2] In 1979, when the Broadway Theater and Commercial District was added to the National Register of Historic Places, Issacs Building was listed as a contributing property in the district.[1]

Issacs building sold for $925,000 in 1997 ($1.81 million in 2024)[3] and $4.65 million in 2013 ($6.28 million in 2024).[4] In 2022, the building was put up for sale for $20.5 million ($22 million in 2024) but it did not sell. The following year, the building was put up for auction with a starting bid of $4 million ($4.13 million in 2024).[5]

The building is a significant contributor to Sneaker Row, which emerged in the area in the 2010s.[6]
