Philadelphia, PA Robinson

I don't quite know what to say about this building. Is it renovated? What was it like before? Who decided to put this huge curving facade on it?

 

Well Java1888 answered so many of these questions. It was designed by Victor Gruen in 1946 for the Grayson-Robinson apparel chain which was headquartered in Los Angeles (which makes sense since Gruen was a Los Angeles based architect).
