Stall (enclosure)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For other uses of this term, see stall.
A stall is a small enclosure of some kind, usually less enclosed than a room.
A market stall is usually an immobile temporary structure erected by merchants to display and shelter their merchandise. Such stalls are easily erected or taken down to allow movement to a new market area.
Some commercial marketplaces, including market squares or flea markets, may erect (or allow merchants to erect) more permanent stalls. Stalls may also appear as display areas at fairs and conventions.
An animal stall is an enclosure housing one or a few animals. Often this too can be a temporary or permanent enclosure at a market (see above) but stalls for animals can often be found wherever animals are kept: One example is a horse's stable and these are often purpose built and permanent structures. Sometimes a farmer's barn may be subdivided into animal stalls or cow cubicles (UK).
In a cathedral, the stalls are the seats built into the quire or choir in the eastern end of the structure.
In a theatre or concert hall auditorium, the stalls, also referred to as orchestra seats, are the seats on the ground floor directly in front of the stage.
In a public restroom the toilets are separated into stalls for privacy.
A stall may also be:
- a high-backed booth at a restaurant
- A shower stall
- A washroom stall
