Edward Sibbert

Who was Edward Sibbert?

Edward F. Sibbert was a Brooklyn-born American architect. He is best remembered for the fifty or so retail stores he designed during a 25 year career as the head architect at the S. H. Kress & Co. chain of five-and-dimes. His tenure at Kress coincided roughly with the company's peak years of success, and many of his Art Deco-style buildings have survived beyond the chain's 1980 demise and are in use today in other purposes.
