GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.

Add a New Haven heritage touch to everyday outings with this Malley's Department Store embroidered dad cap hat. From Edward Malley's first merchandise display in Fair Haven in 1848 to the 1899 opening of a nine-story store on Chapel Street, the company became part of downtown life. Its 1962 move to 2 Church Street marked another chapter in the city’s retail story. Made for local-history followers, longtime residents, and collectors drawn to memorable department-store names.

Edward Malley began displaying merchandise in Fair Haven in 1848. In 1852, he established Malley & Co., a dry-goods store at 65 Chapel Street, across from the New Haven Green. The business expanded, partnered with William Neeley, and became William Neeley Co. in 1868. Fires destroyed the original store in 1875 and 1882; after rebuilding, the firm became Malley-Neeley Co. in 1893 and The Edw. Malley Co. in 1898. Its nine-story Beaux-Arts store opened at the original site in 1899 and later added a self-leveling elevator in 1923 and escalators in 1958. In October 1962, the store moved two blocks south to 2 Church Street, beside Chapel Square Mall. The family business was sold after Edward Malley died in 1971. Ownership passed to The Outlet Company in 1978 and United Department Stores in 1980. The store closed in February 1982 after UDS went bankrupt. A successor venture, Ceasar's Department Store, occupied the building briefly in 1988–89. The vacant building was given to New Haven in 1997 and demolished that October. Gateway Community College opened a campus on the site in 2012.
