1952 and the first suburban Martin's of Brooklyn | Frank Majer, Architect

THIS STORE, finished in the spring of 1952, is the first suburban branch for Martin's of Brooklyn, a department store. In planning, the architect carefully located and articulated the various departments in relation to pedestrian traffic flow, so that men seeking their depart- ment will not have to pass through a women's department, and vice versa. In general, young people's and sportswear, as well as impulse items such as gloves, jewelry, etc. are located at street level, while the higher priced dresses and gift shop are located on the second floor. The architect designed all interiors, including merchandising fixtures and lighting.
