Robinson Department Store – Philadelphia

1020 Market St. – Philadelphia PA (built 1946; architects Victor Gruen and Elsie Krummeck)

 

A notable post-war building along Market street in Philadelphia, the former Robinson Department Store is nearly original except for the enclosing of the extended glass display windows and the hidden smooth rolled ending of the facade where the signs now are.
