Kaufmann's, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Kaufmann's, Pittsburgh's largest store, called itself
"The Big Store" with good reason: it occupied over
a million square feet of space in buildings built in
1898, 1913, and 1955.

In 1930, Kaufmann's unveiled an innovative modern
redesign of its first floor, with diagonal aisles,
3 sets of escalators, and a spare yet elegant style
based on German Expressionism.

A particularly striking feature of the first floor was the
forest of black marble-sheathed columns incorporating
concealed lighting which continued across the ceiling
in a grid pattern.

Kaufmann's 1955 addition bridged across Cherry
Way, and gave the store a new Street Floor Men's
Store along Fifth Avenue in The Golden Triangle.

The massive 1955 addition was itself
sheathed in marble and bore the signature
Kaufmann's "K."
