Not reusing at least the facade of the 1927 J.B. Sheppard & Sons dry goods building is a missed opportunity though.

1927 Inquirer clipping: https://www.newspapers.com/clip/80767853/drygoods-store-moves-inquirer-sep/

Discussion at PICH has some of the history: https://www.facebook.com/groups/PhiladelphiaIndustrialHeritage/posts/2988091751479458/
