Stewart's Department Store, also known as the Posner Building, is a historic department store building located in Baltimore, Maryland. Designed in 1899 by Charles E. Cassell, the six-story brick and terra cotta steel-framed structure features intricate Italian Renaissance Revival detailing, including fluted columns, lion heads, and elaborate cornices.
Founded in 1901 by Louis Stewart, Stewart's Department Store was a non-Jewish owned chain that became a founding member of Associated Dry Goods. The store expanded to suburban locations in the 1950s and 1960s, offering a unique shopping experience with themed murals, restaurants, and a blend of glass architecture that catered to both city and suburban shoppers.
