Description
The floor plans for the Kress Building, located at 15 West Church Street in Downtown Orlando, Florida, in 2001. The plans include marquise, plaster ceilo grilles, and plaster plans. S. H. Kress & Company is a chain of retail department stores founded by Samuel H. Kress in 1896. The building was designed with Art Deco details by Edward F. Sibbert, built by the G .A.

The Church Street portion of building housed King Henry's Feast, a dinner attraction, before it relocated to International Drive.
