Wear a piece of Washington's commercial story with this Lansburgh's Heavy Knit Quarter-Zip Sweatshirt. The store opened downtown in 1860, founded by brothers James and Gustav Lansburgh, and developed into a familiar destination for generations of local shoppers. Its flagship, designed by Adolf Cluss and expanded in 1916, 1924 and 1941, reflected the changing scale of the city. The name also recalls the chain's later branches around the region, making this a meaningful choice for D.C. history and department-store enthusiasts.
Lansburgh's was a Washington, D.C.-area department-store chain founded by brothers James and Gustav Lansburgh. Its first store opened on October 30, 1860, at Seventh and E Streets NW, in downtown Washington's shopping district. The company became known initially for supplying the black crepe used for President Abraham Lincoln's funeral and installed the District of Columbia's first elevator in a commercial building. The business remained family owned until City Stores, Inc. acquired it in 1951. Its downtown flagship, constructed in 1882 and designed by architect Adolf Cluss, was expanded in 1916, 1924 and 1941, extending to Eighth Street. Lansburgh's began suburban expansion with a Langley Park, Maryland, branch in 1955, followed by a Shirlington Shopping Center store in Arlington, Virginia, in 1959. Later branches opened at Tysons Corner Center in 1969, Rockville Mall in 1972 and Springfield Mall in 1973. At its final liquidation in June 1973, the chain ranked eighth in the Washington, D.C., retail market, with sales of $28.5 million. The former flagship later served as office and warehouse space and became part of downtown Washington's revitalized Penn Quarter.
