1960-1995: The store known as Delzell’s was purchased in late 1960 by Robert Herrin and Ayrol Ann Herrin who agreed to retain the name due to the long history of business on the Lawrenceville Square.

In 1969 Ayrol Ann acquired her husband’s interest and then purchased the building a few years later. After taking over the management of the store, she began to update the Delzell’s image.

In 1974: there were major changes and remodeling, both to interior and the exterior.
