The J. C. Penney–Chicago Store is a historic department store building in downtown Tucson, Arizona, United States. Built in 1903 for the Los Angeles Furniture Co, it housed J. C. Penney by July 25, 1942.[3] In 1957, after J. C. Penney moved to the west side of Stone Avenue just north of Pennington Street, Aaronson Brothers moved in.[4] The Chicago Store moved in after the El Paso-based department store closed in 1967.[5] This building had the last complete original vintage interior in Downtown Tucson with stamped tin ceilings and period woodwork until it was completely gutted in 2020–2022.[citation needed]
