Description

This comprehensive architectural study examines the rise of the urban department store in late nineteenth-century America, exploring how these buildings functioned as both physical structures and cultural institutions. Author Louisa Iarocci moves beyond conventional architectural analysis to investigate the spaces of selling as culturally-produced environments shaped by economic, social, technological and aesthetic forces. The book addresses a significant gap in architectural scholarship by providing an in-depth examination of nineteenth-century department stores, their design, their role in urban development, and their influence on American retail culture and city life during this transformative period.

Key Features

Comprehensive architectural analysis of American department stores from 1850 to 1930, examining their evolution as built forms.

Explores how department store spaces were culturally-produced through interrelated economic, social, technological and aesthetic influences.

Published by Routledge, a leading academic publisher specialising in architecture, design and cultural studies.

Addresses a significant gap in nineteenth-century American architectural scholarship with detailed historical research.

Examines the department store as both a physical building type and a social institution that shaped urban American life.
