Photograph taken on January 7, 2009 of former Milliron’s Department Store that opened approximately in 1949. A few years later The Broadway Department Store chain took over this site and it was a Broadway Department Store until the early 1990s. The Broadway disposed of this location. Mervyns took over the site, gutted the interior, remodeled the interior, removed the rooftop parking, as well as an escalator tower and stairs that led to the roof. Located in Westchester California on Sepulveda and LaTijera. Los Angeles California. In 2008, Mervyns announced that they were closing down all of their stores. This former Mervyns Department Store closed down in early January 2009. Originally, when this was a Broadway, you could drive up to the roof for parking via a ramp. The ramp has been sealed off after Mervyns took over the buliding. Photo of former Mervyns Department Store. This is a photo of the loading dock area.
Located across the street from the former Mervyns is another Shopping Center. In this center is a Longs Drugs and a Ralphs Supermarket. In 2008 CVS Pharmacy Stores puchased the Longs Drug Store Chain. In early April 2009, the Longs Drug Store changed its name to CVS Pharmacy. The CVS Pharmacy is located Ralphs Westchester at Sepulveda at Westchester Parkway, near Lincoln (sort-of) in Los Angeles, California. Ralphs Westchester was builts first, due to its success, Longs Drugs was then built next door. About a block down the street, at Lincoln is another CVS Pharmacy, formerly a Sav-on Drug Store.

In 1931 Sidney Myer (1878 – 1934) Russian émigré turned Melbourne businessman and philanthropist decided to reinvigorate his store the Myer Emporium by redeveloping his flagship Bourke Street store at 314-336 Bourke Street. Part of this included a new façade in the prevailing interwar style of the time – Art Deco and the addition of several more floors to what was already a very large department store. On the sixth floor a chic European style ballroom with soaring ceilings, sweeping stairs and parquet flooring was planned for use by the emporium’s patrons as a dining room by day and in which Myer could host Parisian fashion shows and hold exclusive Melbourne society events by night. The Myer Mural Hall, so called because of an impressive collection of ten murals by Australian artist Napier Waller, was the realisation of Sidney Myer’s dream.
The Mural Hall, a dining hall suitable for a sitting for one thousand people and a venue for fashion parades and performances, was completed in 1933 as part of the sixth floor which was set aside for dining. It is a large rectangular space with a decorative plaster ceiling and balconies and wall panels in a Streamline Moderne style. However, it is the decoration of ten murals by renowned artist Napier Waller (1893-1972) that are the Mural Hall’s claim to fame. The murals took a little over a year to complete and were painted at Napier Waller’s home at Fairy Hills in Ivanhoe before being transported to the department store where they were hung. Completed in 1934, just after Sidney Myer’s death, eight of the murals are almost floor to ceiling, whilst the remaining two are located over the two side entrances. All pay homage to the seasons and to women and their achievements through history in the areas of art, opera, literature, dance, sport and fashion.
The eastern wall features a mural "Revelation of Fashion". It features Victorian era crinolines and bonnets of 1840.
Napier Waller (1893 – 1972) was a noted Australian muralist, mosaicist and painter. He served in France from 1916, being so seriously wounded at Bullecourt that he lost his right arm. He was right-handed but learned to use his left hand while recuperating. Back in Australia, he established his reputation by exhibiting more paintings. He is perhaps best known for the mosaics and stained glass for the Hall of Memory at the Australian War Memorial, Canberra, completed in 1958. However, Melbourne has been described as "a gallery of Napier Waller’s work". Pieces of Napier Waller’s works may be found in the Melbourne Town Hall (1927), the State Library of Victoria (1928), the T & G Life Building (1929), Newspaper House (1933), Florentino’s Restaurant (1934), the Wesley Church (1935) and the University of Melbourne (1940) as well as the Myer Mural Hall.

Gramercy, Manhattan, New York City, New York
DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS
One of the most Impressive stores In the late 19th-century shopping district known as "The Ladies' Mile ",the former Lord & Taylor building stands at the southwest corner of Broadway and 20th Street and, with Its picturesque corner tower, still dominates Its site today. Handsomely designed In the French Second Empire style by the architect James H. Giles, the store was constructed with the most up-to-date materials of the time, cast iron and glass , and hailed as strikingly modern and elegant when, it was completed in 1870.
The prestigious firm of Lord 4 Taylor began as a small drygoods store In lower Manhattan in the early 19th century. Samuel Lord was born in Saddleworth, England, and worked In an iron foundry there owned by James Taylor.
At the age of 21, Lord married Taylor's daughter, Mary, and shortly afterward the couple emigrated to America. In 1826, Lord opened a drygoods store at 47 Catherine Street and soon made his wife's cousin, George Washington Taylor, his partner in the new venture. The store was an Immediate success and In 1832 the firm moved to more spacious quarters on Catherine Street. The prosperity of the Lord & Taylor store enabled Samuel Lord to purchase an extensive country estate in the village of Newtown; now Elmhurst, Queens. Lord lived there with his wife and eight children and, by constantly adding to his property, even* tually became one of the largest land owners in the area. One of his many building projects In Newtown was Clermont Terrace, a row of residences erected near his estate; one of these houses still stands today.
While Samuel Lord managed the selling and buying for the firm, his partner, George Taylor (1802-79) handled the financial matters. Taylor was credited with having a special talent "for figures and could carry the whole business of the young firm to a penny In his memory" (New York Times, March 25, 1879). After having amassed a considerable fortune, Taylor retired to Manchester, England In the 1850s, where during his latter years, he reputedly made It a practice to donate one quarter of his Income to charity.
The extremely successful firm of Lord & Taylor continued to expand and in 1853 moved to a larger store at Grand and Chrystie Streets. This new building, the third In the history of Lord & Taylor stores, was skillfully designed with a large central rotunda crowned by a dome. Soon, however, this space also proved too small and another, "branch" of the store was opened at Grand Street and Broadway In 1860. The rapidly expanding business of the firm led Samuel Lord to take In two new partners — his oldest son, John T. Lord, and John S. Lyle, who had been the first errand boy to work in the store. In 1866, Samuel Lord retired to his native England, where he delighted In his hobby of horticulture.
At his death, Lord left a fortune of nine million dollars. »
As the development of Manhattan extended northward during the second half of the 19th> century, the commercial center also moved uptown and the area between 8th and 23rd Streets, Broadway and Sixth Avenge gradually became the principal shopping district. Beginning in the 1860s, a number of the finest department stores in the city moved to Broadway, In this newly fashionable section which was soon to be known as "The Ladies' Mile." One of the first to move northward was the A.T. Stewart store, erected in 1862, which stood at Broadway and 10th Street.
A few years later, In 1868, construction began on the massive Arnold, Constable & Co. store, which still stands today at the southwest corner of
Broadway and 19th Street. The next year, in keeping with the northward shift in commercial activity, the new Lord & Taylor store was begun across the street. Designed on a grand scale in the most striking architectural styles, these new stores, many of cast Iron, were the work of the city's most prominent architects. Eventually all of the most important retail firms In the city, including B. Altman's, Macy's, W. & J. Sloane and Siegel-Cooper & Co. owned impressive emporiums in this district.
The Lord & Taylor store, which originally extended 83 feet along Broadway, was widely acclaimed as Its opening in 1870 and its modern design was praised by the New York Times (Nov. 27, 1870): "It Is wholly of Iron and exhibits better, perhaps, than any previous attempt the capacity of iron for effects of its own In building."
Cast Iron was an extremely popular architectural material during the second half of the 19th century and was particularly suited to the needs of a commercial building. It had been used In New York City as early as the 1840s, when the famed Inventor, James Bogardus, experimented with the material and advanced the use of Iron for structural supporting systems. The Architectural Iron Works of Daniel D. Badger greatly popularized the use of cast iron for facades and gained a worldwide reputation, shipping prefabricated iron parts to many foreign ports, Including Nova Scotia and Cuba. Several facades cast in Badger's iron foundry are among the finest in the SoHo-Cast Iron Historic District, where the largest group of cast-iron structures anywhere In the world still stands.
The many advantages of cast iron were quickly recognized and adapted to commercial buildings. Not only was It less expensive to design an elaborate facade in cast Iron than In masonry, but the erection process was also far speedier, due to the relative ease of assembling pre-fabrlcated parts.
The greatest advantage of cast iron for commercial purposes was the large window area made possible by the slender Iron structural system of the facade which permitted larger openings than the traditional masonry piers. The large windows of the upper floors provided much-needed light on the Interior, while those on the ground floor served as eyecatching display windows and added a whole new dimension to shopping.
The eight large display windows along the original Broadway facade of the Lord & Taylor store were each sixteen feet high and seven feet wide and quickly became one of the chief attractions of the building.
The Lord & Taylor building was erected on land owned by two different families who leased the property to the firm. The three lots along Broadway belonged to New York's distinguished Goelet family. Peter Goelet (1800-79) lived across the street In a brownstone at Broadway and 19th Street and reputedly refused to sell any of the land which had once comprised his family's farm. In the I ease for the 20th Street lot, which was owned by the Badeau family, It was specified that the building erected on this corner lot be similar in height to that constructed by the Goelets along Broadway. 11
The Goelets and the firm of Lord & Taylor commissioned the architect James H. Giles to design the store, which he treated as one single building. A resident of Brooklyn, Giles had his architectural office at 160 Fulton Street In lower Manhattan. Apparently he was responsible for a number of other cast-iron buildings, since his name occurs several times In Daniel Badger's Architectural Iron Works catalogue. In addition to designing storefronts In lower Manhattan, he Is also listed as the architect of a cast-iron building which Is still standing In Mobile, Alabama. Erected for Daniels, Elgin & Co., this handsome structure was constructed before the Lord & Taylor store. Giles also designed residential buildings, Including a row of tenements of 1870 in East Harlem.
The design of the Lord & Taylor store was an Immediate success and displayed many of the most up-to-date architectural features. The boldness of the cast-iron facade and the many large windows, together with the prominent mansard roof and striking corner tower, created a particularly Imposing effect. At the original Broadway facade, a large arched entrance gave great distinction to the building. The architect James H. Giles took full Advantage of the site by creating a diagonal corner, which he accentuated with a tall tower.
On the interior, the magnificent hall of the first floor was executed In black walnut and ash. At the rear, a "dark room," which was fast becoming the fashion In first class stores of the time, was used for the display of materials by gaslight. The two steam elevators of the store were considered particularly elegant when Installed In 1870. A print of the new elevator filled with dignified women shoppers appeared in Frank Leslie's, Illustrated Newspaper, (Nov. 1, 1873), with a glowing description of the new mechanism:
it] operates with perfect ease and safety; is as luxurious as the grand salon of the first class steamboats, and is a saving of strength In shopping altogether Incalculable to anyone outside of a city, in which altitude, rather than grand space. Is the principal architectural consideration.
At the second floor, ready-made clothes were sold. Since the clothes previously sold by the store had been custom-made, the ready-made items were seen as extremely modern at the time of the opening of this Lord 4 Taylor store and as a great Innovation in the retail trade.
Despite the tremendous size of the cast-iron store, the firm nonetheless soon outgrew Its new building.
Shortly after 1870, an addition was erected on another lot owned by the Goelets at 10 East 20th Street. This building, also of cast iron, was designed to harmonize with the original structure. The firm continued to expand over the years and erected buildings on 19th and 20th Streets to meet Its needs, in 1903 another extension was constructed through to Fifth Avenue, soon to be a major shopping street of the city.
As the city developed further north, the commercial district shifted accordingly. In 1914, Lord 4 Taylor moved uptown to its present building at Fifth Avenue and 38th Street. Many other department stores followed shortly afterward. When Lord & Taylor vacated the Broadway and 20th Street store, the Goelets still owned that part of the building constructed by an earlier generation of the family. In 1914, the Broadway section of the store and 10 East 20th Street, also owned by the Goelets, were sealed off from the corner section — the original part of the former Lord 4 Taylor store which remains today — and treated as a separate building.
The former Lord 4 Taylor building, four stories with attic, Is dominated by Its picturesque diagonal corner tower with mansard roof which recalls the handsome pavilions of French Second Empire architecture. The tower is flanked by a single bay facing Broadway and by the long 20th Street facade which is crowned by a mansard roof with dormers. Above the altered ground floor, the cast-iron facade displays a profusion of decorative features skillfully combined to create a rich effect. The play of projections and recessions throughout the facade gives the building a highly ornate and distinctive character, achieved by the contrast of light and shadow.
The tall corner tower is set above the first story on an oblique angle and rises a full story above the mansard roof. Cast-iron pilasters with modified Corinthian capitals flank each story of the tower. These pilasters recur throughout the facade and vary In design. At the second story, they are rusticated with alternating panels displaying pellets, while at the upper stories a round-arched vertical panel occurs above the pellet panels.
At the tower, the triple window bays of the three central stories are composed of a wide central window flanked by narrow side windows opening onto balconies with low railings of delicate Ironwork. The three-sided balconies at the second and fourth stories contrast effectively with the third story curved balcony which follows the form of the second story bay window below It. The windows of the second story curved bay are set behind deeply recessed arches, which in their design are reminiscent of corbeled arches, carried on cast-iron pilasters. The window enframements have stilted flat arches with curved ends supported on slender engaged Corinthian columns.
At the upper stories of the tower, the windows are set In a flush wall. The treatment of the windows at the third story Is quite similar to that below; however, It Is subtly varied at the fourth story. The lintels above these windows consist of flat arches with corbel-form ends, while the inner flat arches of the enframements have deep curvilinear stilts. Simple ornament embellishes the corbels where they meet the Iintels.
A cornice with closely spaced brackets extends around the entire facade above the fourth story and Is surmounted, at the tower, by a full attic story with five tall, narrow windows. At either side of these windows, diminutive engaged columns support stilted elliptical arches, ornamented with delicate curvilinear forms at the spandrels. The deeply recessed typanums of these arches also display delicate decorative motifs. Above a cornice with closely spaced diminutive brackets, a tall mansard roof of slate In a fish scale pattern, handsomely terminates the tower and is crowned by an elaborate iron creating.
Originally a large round-arched dormer window was set above the cornice behind a railing which once extended around the top of the tower.
At the 20th Street side of the building, the four-story facade is composed of a long center section with windows bays at either end flanked by pilasters. The design of the windows at the 20th Street facade and at the single bay on the
Broadway side is similar to that of the tower at the third story. Curvilinear ornament at the spandrels of the lintels gives a delicate quality to the design, further enhanced by the low railings with small narrow arches beneath these windows. A curved balcony, from which the railing has been removed, serves the central windows of the third story. The bracketed roof cornice above the fourth story of the store projects slightly above the central section of the 20th Street facade. The ends of the mansard roof above this central section are set off by paneled uprights topped by finials. This roof, characteristic of the French Second Empire style, has three flat-arched dormer windows with arched pediments and is crowned by an ornate iron cresting. Above the westernmost bay of the 20th Street facade, a small dormer with a triangular pediment adds further interest to the distinctive roof line of this handsome building.
Today the former Lord & Taylor building is a vivid reminder of the architectural splendor of "The Ladles' Mile," where many of the commercial emporiums of the day were built in the grandest and most Impressive styles. The elaborately ornamented cast-iron facade of the store and its prominent, picturesque corner tower with mansard roof create an effectively Imposing design, striking both in its scale and grandeur.
The store (Natural Gum Marketing Enterprise in Adama) is managed by the government. This site is only for cleaning and packing for export. Gum is coming from Southern, South Eastern and Western regions of Ethiopia. Regional offices are located within each area, and employ traders to buy the gum. After that, the gum is transported to the storage site in the town of Adama. Each gum is cleaned by hand, sorted by size, and then color. Gum is collected from Acacia (Boswllia Paprifera ) and Acacia Senegal (South East Boswllia Negra).
