Gothic Architecture: Timeline
Gothic architecture dates back to 1144 AD, when the first Gothic church was built, the Basilica of Saint Denis. Most of the first Gothic structures were built in Ile-de-France, close to Paris. The Saint Denis served as a model for Gothic architecture. Though the term ‘Gothic’ is derived from ‘Goth’ which described a barbaric tribe in Europe between the fifth to eighth century. The Romanesque architecture started before Gothic in 800 AD. It wasn’t until the 11th century did Gothic architecture begin to unravel.

Harding, Howell, and Co’s was considered the predecessor to modern department stores. According to the BBC, “Harding, Howell, and Co was focused on the needs and desires of fashionable women” (Glancey). This store was quite prominent during its time. However, towards the end of the Romantic period, more department stores began to open up.
