The Department Store Historic District is a historic district in the Downtown Hartford neighborhood of the city of Hartford, Connecticut, USA. It is a area that, in 1995, included three contributing buildings, one other contributing structure, and one contributing object. It includes a building that is separately listed on the NRHP: the Cheney Building which is also known as the Brown Thomson Building.〔 The district is significant because of the important economic role of the three department stores in the district.〔 and (''Accompanying 5 photos, from 1994 (captions given page 14 in text document)'' )〕 ==G. Fox Building== The G. Fox & Co. building at 960 Main Street is a neoclassical structure, designed by Cass Gilbert and built in 1918. Besides the department store itself, a warehouse and a bridge attaching the store to the warehouse are listed as contributing properties to the district.〔 In 1935, a streamlined Art Deco canopy was added over the storefronts, but this addition in itself is historic as one of Hartford's best expressions of the style.〔 Each Christmastime, an elaborate display would be constructed atop the canopy, featuring scale replicas of famous Connecticut buildings and Christmas decoration. It drew shoppers from throughout the state. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Department Store Historic District」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
