Share a little Cleveland history with a new arrival through this Sterling Lindner Davis infant bodysuit. The downtown department store took its name in 1951 after earlier Cleveland businesses came together, and it served families shopping along Euclid Avenue until 1968. Generations also remembered its decorated Christmas tree, a tradition begun in 1927. With a connection to the Theater District and the city's once-thriving group of downtown stores, this makes a meaningful keepsake for Cleveland families and local-history enthusiasts.
Sterling Lindner Davis was a major department store in downtown Cleveland's Theater District, formed from Sterling & Welch, Lindner Co., and W. B. Davis Co. Sterling & Welch dated to 1845. Lindner & Davis was acquired by Allied Stores in 1947; Allied then bought Sterling & Welch, and the combined store became known as Sterling Lindner Davis in 1951. The store operated until 1968, closing amid the growth of malls and outlets. At its height, it was part of Cleveland's prominent group of six downtown department stores, alongside May, Higbee's, Bailey's, Taylor's, and Halle. Shoppers came to Euclid Avenue for goods ranging from clothing and jewelry to furniture and housewares. The retailer was especially known for displaying what was described as Ohio's largest decorated Christmas tree, a tradition begun in 1927. The tree tradition is sometimes associated with another Cleveland store in the 1983 film A Christmas Story, but the supplied source attributes it to Sterling Lindner Davis. By the end of the 1990s, none of Cleveland's big six remained in operation.
