Edward Sibbert
Edward F. Sibbert (July 1, 1889 – 1982) was a Brooklyn-born American architect. He is best remembered for the fifty or so retail stores he designed during a 25-year career as the head architect at the S. H. Kress & Co. chain of five-and-dimes. His tenure at Kress coincided roughly with the company's peak years of success, and many of his Art Deco-style buildings have survived beyond the chain's 1980 demise and are in use today in other purposes.
==Early years==
Sibbert's architectural education began at the Pratt Institute (1919–20) where he studied structural engineering. This was followed by work at Cornell University (1921–22) in its architectural program, where he was tapped into the New York Alpha Chapter of the Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity, known for its artists and architects. Through that organization, he was a member of the Irving Literary Society. Following the end of his formal education he worked as a draftsman for W.T. Grant and Company, a dime store retail organization.〔Thomas, Bernice L., 1997. ''America's 5 & 10 Cent Stores: The Kress Legacy''. New York: John Wiley & Sons, Inc. ISBN 0-471-18195-1, p. 69〕
In 1924 Sibbert, along with Cornell classmate and fraternity brother Russell T. Pancoast, moved to Miami where Pancoast's grandfather John S. Collins was developing Miami Beach. It was an exciting time and the right place for an aspiring young architect: the great Florida land boom of the 1920s was in full swing, with some properties being bought and sold several times in one day. Then just when the bubble showed signs of imploding anyway, a serious hurricane in 1926 helped things along and all but ended the Miami building boom. So Sibbert and his wife Bertha left Florida and returned to Brooklyn, where he signed on as an architect for E. H. Faile.〔Thomas, pp. 69-71〕
