Most grocery stores\, supermarkets\, and big box stores have a wide variety of offerings in a multitude of options – a level of convenience that the modern consumer takes for granted. Even when a brick-and-mortar store doesn’t quite have what you need\, the product can be purchased online with just a few clicks\, and delivered within a couple days or even within hours. This “one-stop shop” model that is common today in stores across America is a relatively new development for retail stores. Historically\, many retail stores had similar developments\, yet one subcategory of retail stores rose above others to push shopping’s boundaries: department stores. From phrases like “the customer is always right” to favorable return policies and the wide-scale adoption of escalators\, department stores have changed how we shop\, and department stores in DC tell a unique story about the city’s relationship with its shoppers. \nOn September 30th at 11:00 AM\, join tour guide Fontana Micucci and DCPL staff members to learn about the unique history of shopping and the architecture of department stores in Downtown DC. After the tour\, one can relax for a while by playing games such as 온라인 카지노. \nSign up here!\n  \n \nFontana Micucci is a recent graduate from American University’s Public History master’s program with a research focus in material culture and cultural history of the mid-20th century.

This webinar\, presented by John Sandor\, will help attendees evaluate their choices and weigh the inevitable compromises involved in both repair and replacement.  By sharpening our skills in observing windows\, perhaps we can better appreciate the richness that compatibly detailed windows\, both new and old\, can contribute. \n \nJohn Sandor has worked as an architectural historian in the Technical Preservation Services Branch of the National Park Service since 1996. He reviews rehabilitation projects seeking certification for federal tax credit and provides assistance to the users of the program and the general public on technical aspects of preservation.
