I know this has been mentioned before but I don't think a photo was posted. In any event, here is a photo of the Kann's department store in Arlington's Virginia Square. It looks like it was taken in the 1950s and the view is from Fairfax Drive.
When I was in elementary school, my family shopped here regularly during the early to mid sixties. They had a relatively large monkey cage, painted and decorated like a circus wagon, in the children's shoe department that held two or three monkeys whose antics fascinated us each time we visited. There was a snack bar on the first floor called the "Kannteen" that was sort of like a soda fountain. The other thing I remember about the building is that they had operators in each elevator taking you from floor to floor.
The store closed, I think, in the early 70s and the building eventually became George Mason's Arlington Campus housing the law school and a few other graduate programs. In the 80s when I was earning my masters, I took classes in the building.
The second photo from Google Steetview shows how the building appears today. It's hidden partially by some trees but I think you can make it out.
