That building is still there! But with a different facade. :)

I wonder what they meant by "work boxes."

A workbox is like a sewing or needlework caddy to hold a lady's supplies for her "fancywork".

Oh, that kind of work. All I could think was something like a toolbox. I always use Tiffany boxes to store my hammers, screwdrivers, and saws! ;)

Thanks!

Yes. I love the bottom: "Equal attention will be shown visitors whether their calls are for business or pleasure."

Tiffany was originally a stationer.
