Any of you old Philly heads remember when Daroff and Sons were in business?

I don't remember Daroff and Sons but I do remember going past the old Botany 500 building on N. Broad ST many times with my ex wife on our way to her lab at Temple's health sciences / med school campus. This was 2000's, building was unoccupied but the sign was still there on top of it.

They dressed most TV leading men in the 60s/70s. Interesting.

The building is apparently an upscale address now.

MY GRANDFATHER WORKED THERE FOR TWENTY YEARS, BEFORE FINALLY BUILDING A HOUSE ON HIS 45 ACRE APPLE ORCHARD AND DOING THAT FULL TIME.
