Product Details & Size Guide
Bring a piece of Washington retail history into a young wardrobe with this Woodward & Lothrop toddler tee. The story began with a dry goods store in 1873 and led to the capital’s first department store in 1887. Known to generations of shoppers as Woodies, the company became part of everyday life across the region. This design connects little ones with a memorable name from downtown shopping, family outings, and the changing story of American department stores.
Woodward & Lothrop began in 1873, when Samuel Walter Woodward and Alvin Mason Lothrop opened a dry goods store in Chelsea, Massachusetts, and operated several stores in the Boston area. On February 8, 1880, they moved to Washington, D.C., with partner Charles E. Cochrane, opening Woodward, Lothrop & Cochrane at Market Space. After moves to larger downtown locations, Woodward and Lothrop bought Cochrane's share, and the store took the Woodward & Lothrop name. The company became the capital's first department store in 1887 and developed a flagship on F Street, later expanding into suburban malls after World War II. Known as Woodies, it competed with Garfinckel's and acquired Palais Royal. In 1984, A. Alfred Taubman acquired the chain; his later holdings included Wanamaker's, which became a subsidiary. Woodward & Lothrop filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on January 18, 1994. In 1995, seven stores went to J. C. Penney, while the remaining Woodward & Lothrop and Wanamaker's locations went to May Department Stores Company. Liquidation ended and the stores closed by November 1995. The former flagship, a D.C. landmark since 1964, reopened in 2003 after redevelopment.
