Hampton Shops Building ARCHITECT: Rouse & Goldstone DATE: 1915 STYLE: Neo-Gothic Designed in the neo-Gothic or Perpendicular Gothic style, it has an 11-story tripartite facade clad with grey terracotta resembling granite. This distinctive style was chosen because not only did it complement the St. Patrick’s Cathedral complex, which the building faces, but it also evoked the kinds of traditional-style furniture that Hampton Shops sold.
