Description
Image
,
looking
west
,
showing
the
rear
of the
Gilmore
Brother's
Department
Store
located
at
143-147
South
Kalamazoo
Mall
(South
Burdick
Street)
in
downtown
Kalamazoo
,
Michigan
. The
view
,
taken
from the
top
of the
two
story
Gilmore
Brother's
parking
ramp
shows
the
sever
damage
done
to the
building
by a
tornado
which
swept
through
the
City
of
Kalamazoo
in the
late
afternoon
of
May
13th
,
1980
.
Virtually
the
entire
rear
facade
was
removed
from the
building
and
deposited
in the
alley
below
leaving
what
many
would
describe
as a
doll
house
appearance
. The
end
result
of the this
disaster
was
five
killed
,
seventy-nine
injured
and
over
fifty
million
dollars
in
damage
.
Gilmore's
would
rebuild
but
economic
downturns
would
eventually
cause
them to
go
out
of
business
. The
parking
ramp
would
remain
until
2005
when
it
was
demolished
to
make
way
for a
entertainment
venue
slated
to
open
in
late
2006
.
