Product Details & Size Guide
Celebrate a defining name in Lincoln retail history with this Miller & Paine T-shirt. Founded in 1880 by John Eschelman Miller and Dr. Bartlett Paine, the store grew from a downtown location at 13th and O streets into a Nebraska institution. Its flagship was known for a Tea Room, lunch counter, bakery and candy department, and in 1935 it became Nebraska’s first air-conditioned department store. A wearable tribute to memories rooted in local shopping and community life.
Miller & Paine was a department store founded in Lincoln, Nebraska, in 1880. John Eschelman Miller, who arrived from Pennsylvania in 1879, partnered with Dr. Bartlett Paine to establish a store at 13th and O streets. The original building was built in 1898, and a new building designed by Berlinghof & Davis was constructed on the site in 1916. In 1935, Miller & Paine became Nebraska’s first air-conditioned department store. Its downtown flagship included a basement lunch counter, a fifth-floor Tea Room, a bakery and a candy department. The business also operated stores at Gateway Mall in Lincoln, opened in 1960, and Conestoga Mall in Grand Island, opened in 1974. In 1988, Dillard’s acquired the department stores and rebranded them under its own name; the downtown store later closed. Miller & Paine LLC continues to operate properties in Lincoln, and the former flagship building remains in use as offices. Runza acquired the rights to the store’s cinnamon-roll recipe in 2007 and continues to produce and sell the rolls.
