May-D&F, Denver, Colorado

May-D&F was formed  by a merger of the May Company of Denver and Daniels & Fisher, which had previously occupied separate store buildings.  The dean of the University of Detroit School of Architecture, Bruno Leon, was responsible for the design of the new store, and said that the entrance structure, technically a "hyperbolic parabaloid," was designed to draw attention to the store's "trinkets."
