 |
| 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." |
