read about Stewart's
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. |
