Remembering the great Dayton’s Department Store in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Dayton's was an American department store chain founded in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1902 by George Draper Dayton. He built the 6-story department store on the corner of 7th and Nicollet. Built in Renaissance Revival style, its decorative details are borrowed from ancient Greece and Rome, and its overall form is reminiscent of 15th-century Italian palazzos. It was a twin cities institution.  

From an original engraving published in the Illustrated London news 30 Dec 1876. All the images I am uploading to this profile are no longer under copyright. My aim is to make available in a variety of forms these wonderful images from Victorian & Edwardian days from great publications like the Illustrated London News, the Graphic, Punch & other periodicals or books of the time. Please note with regard to scanned antique prints there may be some age related marks or faults from the originals which will show also on any print ordered. This is inevitable with prints of this age & actually lends an authentic look to your modern product. Please refer to the image shown.

Original name for HOPE, B.C. Canada

Dayton's was an American department store chain founded in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1902 by George Draper Dayton. In 1969, the Detroit-based J.L. Hudson Company merged with the Dayton Company to form the Dayton-Hudson Corporation, adding 21 Michigan-based stores to the total. In 1990, the department store division of Dayton–Hudson (now Target Corporation) acquired Chicago-based Marshall Field's. Both Dayton's and Hudson's retained their individual store names until 2001, when they were united under the Marshall Field's nameplate. Prior to changing its name to Marshall Field's, Dayton's stores numbered 19, serving communities throughout the upper Midwest.

have come to hold iconic status in the country.
