Obviously Macys expanded their store in Livingston, NJ as you can tell by looking at the left corner verses the right corner.  Otherwise both would be the same as the bulge outward appears in the flat part a hundred feet or so from the end that would make that match the left end.
Every day is a winding road, you just got to get used to it.

They tore down the Gimbels in Philly but left the add-on standing. Waste of an opportunity from what I've been told. Especially when Gimbels moved to what is now the Fashion District but is still called Market East. That location changed hands and was until several years ago a Kmart. Now the Kmart is apparently a H&M

Newcastle Casino in Newcastle, Oklahoma started out in a building that was a gas station, and has had no less than five additions to it over the years, none of which match the style (or in two cases, even the vertical elevation) of the others, inside or out. Customers compare it to a dark maze.

I feel like the 4th floors on Clarkson's dorms are fairly obvious (in fact, they're even more obvious inside!).

I suspect this Hannaford enlarged itself at some point (especially given stores like this one).  The area in what looks like the old store acts like a traditional grocery entrance/exit but is now mainly the exit, with the entrance now in what looks like the new part.  Inside, there's an odd wall between produce and the rest of the store, and the produce section looks a lot more modern.

There's a few buildings in Downtown Seattle that fit the bill.

The Medical Dental Building, with a rather plain 1950s addition:



The Bon Marche Building, which had to use a different type of stone for its upward expansion:

On a trip to Los Angeles, I thought the Los Angeles Times building was obviously added onto with a newer building:

The Snohomish, Washington Carnegie Library had a modern building grafted onto it, blocking some of the old building's appearance. The new building has since been removed.  Before:
