Younger’s Studio, 2nd floor, Mabon building

Younger’s Studio was at 210 E Central in 1919. By 1925, they had moved here. They still advertised in 1957, an impressive run of at least 38 years in business in Miami.

Elks/IOOF Lodge, 3rd floor, Mabon Building

These two bricked-up openings were once windows. The bricks went in after the Millner-Berkey fire next door in 1948. That fire nearly took the Mabon with it.
