Jonas Long's Sons, a branch of a Wilkes-Barre department store (
LU7), confirmed Wyoming Avenue's role as Scranton's center of urban mass retailing. A florid Renaissance Revival palace, rather Victorian in spirit, its grandest feature is its much-altered interior light well, which evokes the great department stores of Daniel H. Burnham. Across the street there soon followed the Globe Store (1908), a calmer and more composed essay that was designed by Edward Langley for the Cleland Simpson Company; it is now the Divintech Building.
