Market Square, Shopping center in Lake Forest, Illinois
Market Square features a U-shaped structure with two-story buildings housing retail spaces on the ground floor and apartments above, surrounding a central green area.
Established in 1916, Market Square stands as the first planned shopping center in the United States designed to accommodate automobile access and parking areas.
The square integrates a fountain with the sculpture 'Girl with Baby on Shoulder' by Sylvia Shaw Judson, connecting the space to local artistic heritage.
The shopping center provides convenient head-in parking spaces between the central green area and commercial buildings, directly across from Lake Forest train station.
Market Square combines retail spaces, residential units, and green areas in a unified architectural design that influenced the development of American shopping centers.
