Forest Building
Postmodern retail showroom in Richmond, Virginia / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Forest Building or Forest Showroom is a former retail building in Henrico, Virginia. Built in 1980 as a retail outlet for catalog merchant company Best Products, it was one of several postmodern stores designed for Best by James Wines and his firm SITE. After Best Products liquidated in the 1990s, most of its stores were demolished or substantially altered. In use as West End Presbyterian Church since 2000, the Forest Building is the last remaining Best Products store to retain its original exterior design.[1][2]
