Remick moved out of the building in 1915, at around the same time that the upper three floors were added. The J. L. Hudson Company moved into the building in 1917, first using it as their toy store and then as their music store. When the music merchandise was incorporated into Hudson's main department store, the building sat vacant until building 1935 when the BerryRug Company moved in. Berry used the building until until 1942; afterward the Good House Keeping Shop, a popular appliance store, called the building home until the 1970s.
