NOTICE HOW THIS ~1909 POSTCARD RENDERING OF THE MCKENZIE BUILDING HAS THE NAME “SHINGLER BUILDING” AND THE “J.S. SHINGLER” CORNICE. DUE TO A TIMING ISSUE, THE CORNICE WAS ORIGINALLY ORDERED FOR WHAT WE KNOW AS THE MCKENZIE BUILDING BUT IT WAS NOT COMPLETED IN TIME. HOWEVER, IN 1914, THE CORNICE WAS USED ON WHAT WE NOW KNOW AS THE SHINGLER BUILDING AROUND THE CORNER (205 MCLENDON STREET).
