Abstract	:	Storefront mosques are a unique, emerging type of vernacular architecture that has been adapted into sacred space. A typical commercial storefront is a first-floor space facing on the street, its entrance typically flanked by glass windows for merchandise display. Muslim immigrants, however, are transforming many old commercial buildings into storefront mosques across the city and planners and scholars know almost nothing about them. Buildings such as warehouses, pool halls, defunct industrial structures, and former churches are adapted and staged into storefront mosques. Tucked into commercial corridors, storefront mosques are places of real meaning, mundane spaces transformed into places of peace, refuge and prayer.
