The Leaded Shade was first seen to be advertising in the January, 1976 issue of the GPU News; however, it was also listed in the 1975 Bob Damron Guide, so presumably it must have opened in late 1974 (depending on the deadline for inclusion in that guide).
The August 1976 issue of the local "GLIB Guide" describes the business simply as follows: "Was closed for awhile, now reopened."
The Leaded Shade was succeeded about 10 years later by the Leaded Shade II, about 6 blocks farther south on S. First Street.
More information about this business is welcomed from anyone who can contribute it.
