The company replaced a previous building with a new eleven-story store completed in 1924.

The store underwent a $1,000,000 remodel by Welton Becket, architect, and reopened in November 1953 as Ohrbach's-Downtown.

[5] Milliron's Westchester opened on March 17, 1949,[6] designed by prominent retail architect Victor Gruen and cost $3,000,000 to build.

[6] The grand opening was a large event and the architecture - with its straight lines combined with large curves at the angles; its triangular window displays jutting out from the store; and the deck to its rooftop parking deck – was considered a landmark in retail architecture.

The building had been opened in 1928, designed by Meyer and Holler in art deco style for the Hugh A. Marti Co.,[11] which had gone out of business.
