	<description><![CDATA[Very nice piece and a beautiful building. Thank you. One problem for a retailer with an all-glass building was that if the merchandise or counters were near the wall, which was the standard arrangement, it got to looking quite messy from outside -- really destroying the beauty of the glass structure altogether. I've noticed this with some of the turn-of-the-century European department stores. The solution, pioneered by Erich Mendelsohn (later, of course), was to keep a lot of glass but in horizontal bands, so that the lower 3 feet or so could be a solid wall hiding the counters and merchandise.]]></description>
