The Drive-In, the Supermarket and the Transformation of Commercial Space in Los Angeles, 1914-1941
- Binding: Paperback

Description:
Richard Longstreth is one of the few historians to focus on ordinary commercial buildings -- buildings generally overlooked by historians of "high" architecture. Here Longstreth explores the early development of two kinds of retail space that have become ubiquitous in the United States. One is devoted to the circulation and parking of automobiles on retail premises; the other was introduced soon thereafter with the single-story supermarket. This richly illustrated study integrates architectural, cultural, economic, and urban factors to describe the evolution of retailing and how it has affected the urban landscape.
