Celebrate Garfinckel's and the story of Washington's downtown shopping district with this T-shirt. Julius Garfinckel opened his first store on F Street in 1905, and the business later became a familiar name in the city's retail life. Its eight-story flagship opened at 14th and F Streets in 1929, across from the Willard Hotel, linking the brand to a memorable Washington landmark. A thoughtful choice for department store history enthusiasts and collectors of local heritage.
Garfinckel's began in Washington, D.C., in 1905 as Julius Garfinkle & Co., founded by Julius Garfinckel with 10 clerks. The store opened October 2 at 1226 F Street NW; by August 1924 its name was Julius Garfinckel & Co. In 1918 it was at 13th and F Streets, and in 1929 its eight-story flagship opened at 14th and F, across from the Willard Hotel. Designed by Starrett & van Vleck, the building later entered the National Register of Historic Places. The retailer acquired Brooks Brothers in 1946 and De Pinna in 1950. Following its 1967 acquisition of Miller & Rhoads, it became part of Garfinckel, Brooks Brothers, Miller & Rhoads, Inc.; that conglomerate acquired Ann Taylor in 1977. Allied Stores bought the conglomerate in 1981 for $228 million. After Campeau Corp. acquired Allied in 1986, it sold the Garfinckel's chain to Raleigh's, creating Garfinckel's, Raleigh's & Co. The chain filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on June 21, 1990, and ceased operations that year. Its former flagship was redeveloped as Hamilton Square in 1997–1999.
