Scope and content
Rhodes Department Store parking garage. This is believed to be the huge 2000+ parking garage built by the Rhodes Department Store in 1961 at 11th & Market Sts. The store foresaw the problems with downtown parking and tried to alleviate the situation by constructing a massive parking lot for its customers. The garage was a ramp-style, self-parking lot with four levels of parking. A skybridge (shown above) was added in 1967 that allowed customers to park their cars in the garage and then walk over, protected from the elements, to the department store.
