Date: 1965 The former Liebermann's store is located on Washington Square in Lansing's downtown commercial core. The fully glazed modernist storefront stands out among the adjacent traditional red brick facades of the late-nineteenth century buildings that make up the commercial district. The store is a two-story structure supported by wood framing that spans between the masonry party walls of the adjacent buildings. The dramatic facade is recessed approximately four feet from the plane of the adjacent buildings and consists of four, twenty-two-foot tall glass panels set in aluminum frames. The frame less glazed entry door blends into the transparent storefront. The sidewalls are clad with multi-colored slate arranged in an ashlar pattern. The slate-clad walls extend for a short distance into the interior giving way to white plaster walls. Above the glazed storefront is a small projecting cornice and parapet wall clad with what appears to be contentious panels. On the interior, the plane of the second floor is held back from the glazed wall of the facade creating a two-story volume at the front of the store. The Nelson-designed CSS shelving that was originally used for the display of gifts and housewares remains.
