Brutalist JC Penney Department Store
Cool survivor brutalist JC Penney store in Pensacola Florida. The adjacent mall has been torn down and replaced with a power center.
On a cloudy rainy day it moodily reminds me of this monument by Mies Van Der Rohe. A capitalist instituion...the department store appropriates a communist memorial. Form over function and relevancy, and design over ideology!
