It is also a good example of the city's early-twentieth century wholesale distribution facilities. It is tied to Slotin and Company, one of Savannah's two largest dry goods wholesalers.","narrative":"Built in 1926 at the corner of West Broad and Zubly Streets in Savannah, this four-story load-bearing brick building was constructed for Slotin and Company, a dry goods wholesaler. The two street-facing sides use hard-faced brick with cast stone trim, groups of one-over-one windows between shallow piers, and a crenelated parapet bearing a \"Slotin 1926\" plaque. The first floor of the front was altered in the 1940s. Inside, open floors rest on wooden posts and beams, with exposed brick walls, plank ceilings, some pressed metal ceilings, and two original freight elevators. Designed by Levy, Clark and Bergen, one of three architectural firms active in Savannah at the time, the building shows a move from late-Victorian commercial design toward a simpler, modern look. It also reflects the city's role as a rail and port center for wholesaling. Slotin and Company, founded about 1907 and run by a prominent Jewish family, served a three-state region and grew rapidly in the early 1920s.","period_of_significance":"1926","architect_builder":"Levy, Clark and Bergen, Architects","architectural_style":"Commercial style","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Listed as occupied, in good condition and altered; the first floor of the front facade was changed in the 1940s.
