Kaufman's

Our research odyssey took us through Wheeling, WV. Nestled along the hills of the Tri-State area of Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virgina, Wheeling is quite a site. Impressive bridges span the Ohio River and Nineteenth Century architectural wonders crowd the topography. But what most bedazzles the discerning eye is Kaufman's of Downtown Wheeling.




















"One of the Nation's largest Bridal and Formal Superstores," it's an eye-popper! Nausea Blue panels, staggered in goofy relief, distinquish this consumer landmark from the run-of-the-mill.











Due to the situation of Kia Sportages and Chrysler Sebrings, we were unable to get a straight-on shot of the full facade. But such a picture can be seen here.

I propose that from now on this hue shall be referred to as "Kaufman Blue."
