As you're American, I'm not sure if you realise that the numbers refer to the 'old money' that we had in Britain prior to going decimal in 1971.

1/4 means 1s 4d, or one shilling and fourpence.

2/6 means 2s 6d, or two shillings and sixpence (also known as half a crown).

There were twelve pennies in a shilling, and twenty shillings in a pound.

The building was left empty for many years, and then marked for demolition. Fortunately, they were persuaded to keep the iconic frontage, although the rear was completely knocked down, but it's rather lost its appeal since it was cleaned up, with new extensions added to the roof.
