Night exposure of Ricono's Bargain Annex, located in the historic F.H. Horsfall Building. Down the street from his main store at 751-55 So. 38th, owner Tony Ricono opened this budget store for new and used furniture and appliances. It was located in the Horsfall building, which was built in 1916 and designed by architect E.J. Bresemann. It had 10,000 sq. feet of furniture and appliance space. The purpose of the annex was to provide those with a limited budget an opportunity to furnish their homes with high quality goods at a low price. The store was stocked with quality trade-ins and returns from the main store; also with floor samples and shipment damaged items. (TNT 10/3/1956, pg. B-1- B-3)
