Memphis, Tennessee: Old Lady Who Lived in a Shoe - Gone

A shoe store that was shaped like a large multi-story boot.

It was definitely a shoe store -- my favorite one when I was a kid. When I was four years old and about two and a half feet tall, it seemed to reach half way to the sky, and it made getting fitted for shoes so-o-o-o much fun. My recollection is that it was on Lamar. [Paul Quick, 05/28/2004]

Unfortunately, they tore down (or hopefully moved elsewhere) this great piece of architecture about three years ago. I really couldn't understand why. I guess some people call it progress. [Dana Fiveash, 07/22/2001]

About a 3-4 story boot with windows - seem to recall it was an actual shoe store when we lived there. [Paul Ketchum, 06/30/2001]
