First let’s take a look at the history. Once a popular men’s clothing store constructed in 1947, Hanny’s Department Store made its way into the press as ‘an archetypal divergence’ for downtown Phoenix. In 1986 the city bought the property and used it as a training facility for city firefighters until 2005 when Karl Kopp began its transformation into what it is today. A real estate and restaurant mogul from Milwaukee, Kopp is known for his creative side in gathering and displaying thought provoking art. Hanny’s definitely follows this trend.

Keeping the history alive, original signs advertising men’s fashion brands hang from the wall. You’ll find original logos and Hanny’s famous mural. Keep your eyes peeled for ‘She,’a nameless mannequin, sliding glass squares, and more. Step inside the 1947 elevator shaft while you look down into the basement. Most known for the creepy vibes given off by a collection of old, antique dolls, don’t be surprised to stumble across a few in the basement just sitting around a table. Lit up only by one bulb, Hanny’s has a niche that will keep you wondering.
