Illustration by Andrew Cadey

The Liberty department store was founded by Arthur Lasenby Liberty (1843-1917). Liberty, of Buckinghamshire, England. He worked for Messrs Farmer and Rogers at their store on Regent Street, and was inspired to open his own store after 10 years of working for them.

The current department store was designed by the father and son team Edwin Thomas Hall and Edwin Stanley Hall and built between 1922-1924. Built according to the Arts and Crafts design philosophy of high-quality materials and first-rate artisan skills, the building’s ‘Olde England’- inspired aesthetic echoed Arthur’s admiration for the Tudor period’s traditions of master craftsman guilds, reusing timber from the breaking up of two early19th century “men of war” sailing ships, HMS Hindustan and HMS Impregnable.
