Storefront
A storefront or shopfront is the facade or entryway of a retail store located on the ground floor or street level of a commercial building, typically including one or more display windows. A storefront functions to attract visual attention to a business and its merchandise.

In the United States, storefronts with large windows become available after 1883, when the Pittsburgh Plate Glass company started to produce plate glass. Also architects started to experiment with iron columns and lintels at the ground floor level.The combination of these two achievements led to the storefront as we ...
