Golden Age of Retail
Walk the very streets that millions walked during Philadelphia’s heyday as a mercantile mecca. The tour will cover the rise and fall of Philadelphia’s great department and speciality stores from Wanamaker’s humble beginnings in 1861, to the closing of Strawbridge and Clothier in 2006, and all the glory days in between.
Meet at the southeast corner of 6th and Market Streets
