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. History Before the middle of the 19th century, shop fronts did not have large display windows, but often included features such as awnings and bay windows to attract the attention of passersby.

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 ...
