Introduce a new generation to a Pittsburgh story that began in 1849. The Joseph Horne Company grew from Joseph Horne's purchase of the F.H. Eaton business into a leading regional department store, with a landmark downtown flagship opened in 1893. Horne's later served communities beyond Pittsburgh before its stores stopped using the name in 1994. This infant bodysuit is a sweet keepsake for families with local roots, former shoppers, and collectors who want to share the city's retail history with a little one.
Founded in Pittsburgh on February 22, 1849, the Joseph Horne Company grew from Joseph Horne's purchase of the F.H. Eaton business into a leading regional department store. Its early locations included Market Street and, from 1871, Mercantile Library Hall on Penn Avenue. The flagship at Penn Avenue and Stanwix Street opened in 1893; fires damaged it in 1897 and 1900, and the complex later expanded with adjoining buildings. In 1966, Associated Dry Goods acquired Horne's and expanded into suburban malls in the Pittsburgh region, Erie, and Northeast Ohio. A local investor group bought the chain in December 1986 after May Department Stores acquired Associated Dry Goods. A proposed combination with Dillard's and Ohio chain Higbee's fell through; a 1992 settlement transferred five Ohio stores to Dillard's. In 1994, Federated Department Stores acquired the remaining ten stores and merged them into its Lazarus division. Horne's stores ceased operating under that name on August 29, 1994. The flagship became a Lazarus store, then closed in 1995; later company consolidations brought surviving locations into the Macy's organization in 2006.
