Buffums

Buffums' main store at Pine and Broadway in Long
Beach consisted of an older, 1914 building (right)
 and a six-story 1925 addition.

Buffums' imposing store dominated the
Pine Street  retail landscape in Long Beach
from 1904, and later spread throughout
southern California.

Buffums' recognized the value of convenient parking
and in 1941 built a parking garage, known as
"Buffums' Autoport."

Buffums' Store for Men was a 1941 addition
south of the main store along Pine Avenue.

In 1964, Buffums' leased and remodeled an adjacent
building to the west, thereby creating "Buffums'
Broadway Shops."

In the 1960s, Buffums' opened a new "Varsity Shop"
for young men across the alley from the Store for
Men on Pine Avenue.
