Samaritaine Department Store, Paris
Detail of signage and windows of Samaritaine department store, 1883-1933, Paris, France, reflecting the pink light of sunset. The Samaritaine department store opened in 1869, and expanded over the surrounding blocks. Between 1883-1933 the Art Deco building was constructed and reworked into its current form. The shop on Quai du Louvre that faces the Seine is the work of Frantz Jourdain et Henri Sauvage. The glass roof and Art Deco facade were listed by UNESCO in 1990. It was closed in 2005 for safety reasons, and redevelopment is in progress. Picture by Manuel Cohen
