EXPOSITION | La naissance des grands magasins. Mode, design, jouets, publicité, 1852-1925 ➽ https://bit.ly/Exposition-Grands-Magasins Au Bon Marché (1852), Les Grands Magasins du Louvre (1855), Le Bazar de l’Hôtel de Ville (1856), Au Printemps (1865), La Samaritaine (1870), ces nouveaux temples de la modernité et de la consommation sont nés sous le Second Empire (1852-1870). Depuis leur apparition jusqu’à leur consécration à l’Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes de 1925, l’exposition témoigne, au-delà de la révolution commerciale, de l’évolution de la société française et de l’importance des grands magasins parisiens dans la diffusion des arts appliqués #exposition #naissance #grands magasins

A double dose of snowy mansard goodness, ironically, on the first Monday of spring equinox. #Detroit #BrushPark #MidtownDetroit #SecondEmpire #FrenchRenaissanceRevival #VictorianArchitecture #AlfredStreet #archi_ologie #oldhouselove #casasecasarios #houses_ofthe_world #beautifulhouseoldandnew #MansardMonday #TheAmericanHome #houseportrait #BrickStory #RawDetroit #PureMichigan #PureMittigan #MotorCityShooters #PureDetroit313 #DepictTheD #VisitDetroit #Michiganders #ThisPlaceMatters #ThisPlaceMattersDetroit #MichiganPlacesMatter (at Brush Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbYb3pFvOP0/?utm_medium=tumblr

#mansardmonday - I haven't done one of these in a while and here is a really nice one I found when I was in Winston-Salem, #NorthCarolina. This is the Dr. John Francis Shaffner House on South Main Street. It was built in 1873 for Dr. Shaffner. He was born in Salem in 1838. Shaffner had a medical practice in Salem. He was also a leader in civic activities, serving as a mayor of Salem, President of the Salem Water Supply Company, and Vice-President of the Winston-Salem Building and Loan. He passed away in 1908. #nc #nchistory #SpreadTheHistory #historygirl #history #victorian #secondempire #archi_ologie #architecture #oldhouse #oldhouselove #mansard #monday #fabulousoldhouses #travelblog #travelblogger #blogger #blog #ushistory #americanhistory #ipulledoverforthis #explorenc #winstonsalem #winstonsalemnc (at Winston-Salem, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHrC8C2DUZI/?igshid=1vjhqohbrsetz

The 1869 City Hall Post Office and Court House was despised by New Yorkers for its flagrant, overbuilt aesthetic and nicknamed "Mullett's Monstrosity" after it's architect Alfred B. Mullett. As @boweryboysnyc write in their impressive new book Adventures of Old New York, "the post office looked even sadder with the arrival of the Woolworth Building across the street in 1913." When City Hall Park was expanded to the south in 1939, the post office was "finally stamped 'return to sender' and torn down." (Bowery Boys) We actually love the #SecondEmpire design of the post office, what do you think? Should it have been torn down? #SecondEmpireArchitecture (at City Hall (IRT Lexington Avenue Line))
