in Michael Lisicky's latest

book about Baltimore

Department Stores.

Stewart & Co., related to the Lousiville Store with a similar
name, opened in Baltimore in the failed Posner store, built in 1902.

Looking for all the world like a neo-renaissance
palazzo transported from the Via del Corso in
Rome, Stewarts anchored the corner of Howard
& Lexington in Baltimore.

Though it shared the corner with The Hecht Co.
and Hochschild, Kohn, Stewart's competed
directly with the carriage-trade Hutzler
Brothers Co. across Howard Street.

The elaborate classical detail present on
the Stewart's building contrasted with
the 1932 art-deco of Hutzler's, and fit
Stewart's staid, conservative image.

The deluxe store projected an imposing
image from any angle.
