Notes
  • Significance: Constructed in 19118 by Frank L. Wagner and designed by A.B. Mullet and Company, S. S. Kresge's typifies construction methods for commercial buildings during the early 1900s. In particular, it shows the influences of the Chicago school during this period. Structural piers, expressed on the exterior as pilasters, present a somewhat skeletal appearance although the low building height prevents a full exploitation of its potential. The broad expanse of glass of the Chicago windows follows the program customary of this style. However, the lone band of fenestration results in the emphasis on the horizontal axis rather than the vertical as was characteristic in the style. A strong and ornate terra-cotta cornice further emphasizes the already low appearance. The detailing, however, portrays a consciously decorative awareness.
