From the Florida Division of Historical Resources website:

Daytona Beach S.H. KRESS AND COMPANY BUILDING 140 S. Beach St. 1932. Art Deco. Edward F. Sibbert, architect. 3 stories, buff brick, parapet walls with terra-cotta copings, terra-cotta ornamentation on 2 facades. An outstanding example of Art Deco style in the city. The design is typical of many Kress Company buildings constructed during the period. Private. N.R. 1983.

According to Wikipedia, "The Kress chain was known for the fine architecture of the stores, with a number of locations being hailed by architects for their design. A number of former Kress stores, now put to other uses, are ranked as landmarks."

This beautiful building is now an office building with an architect, engineer, and others using the space.
