Well, you will still find the original two story building that housed the flower shop. It just no longer sells flowers. The building has hosted several successful restaurants since 1989. Currently, in 2023, Bernadin's restaurant offers a fine dining experience in the building. And the sign was on the chopping block in the 1980s, because the mayor wanted to revitalize downtown Charlotte, and the overhanging sign was deemed tacky. The building is noteworthy architecturally, as it was designed and built by an Englishman named William Peeps, in a Mediterranean Revival style. Louis Tiffany also contributed some stained glass to the original building when he did a "southern tour", in the 1920s. I don't know if that glass is still intact. Building was opened in 1929. Mr Ratcliffe returned from WWI and sold his flowers on the street. He was known as the King of Carnations, growing his flowers in greenhouses in the Derita area.
