In the fall of 1908, Levi Department Store opened in the old building. It too suffered a huge fire on May 1, 1915 but did rebuild. The Levi Department Store finally closed January 1, 1926. The business was liquidated and the building was later for sale.

The Tri-State Asbestos & Magnesia Co operated here in the 1930s. The company moved around 1937 to a larger place at 609 N Weinbach Ave
