The Kress Building, also known as Kress Wholesale Company Store and Mehornay Furniture Store, is a historic commercial building located in downtown Columbia, Missouri. It was built in 1910 for the S. H. Kress & Co., and remodeled in 1946 when it became Mehornay Furniture. It is a tall two-story, brick building with an open storefront topped by horizontal metal banding, that consists of large plate glass windows.[2]: 5–6
It operated as a furniture store from 1946 until 1979-80. It was again renovated in 2005.[2] Post-renovation it became the home of the Penguin Piano Bar in 2005 on the ground floor and Roxy’s in 2015 on the 2nd floor.[3] Both went out of business in 2020 due to the closures during the covid-19 pandemic.[4]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.[1]
