Sydney and Frances Lewis founded Best Products in 1957. Their love for modern art and architecture overlapped with their vision of a corporate image. They commissioned James Wines and his firm, SITE, of New York City, to design a series of showrooms. Wines, trained as a sculptor, characterized his work as “de-architecture.” The Quioccasin store was built to reflect the heavily wooded surroundings. A sliver of space planted with trees splits away the plain glass facade from the bulk of the showroom. Exotic landscaping in the parking lot and an unexpected green lobby prefaced a typical 1970s store interior. Best Products closed operations in 1997. In an unusual instance of adaptive reuse, the building was acquired by a Presbyterian church.
