Woodward & Lothrop, Washington D.C.


 


Read the history of Woodward
& Lothrop exquisitely presented
in Michael Lisicky's authoritative book.
Woodward & Lothrop
"The Store Fit for the Nation's Capital"
The older building on the 'G' Street side
extended from 10th to 11th Streets.

Woodward & Lothrop's North Building,
acquired from Palais Royal in 1946.

The North Building and Main Building sat
on opposite sides of 'G' Street.

The First Foor decorated for Christmas -
unfortunately, the photo does not show the beautiful bas-relief
plaster detailing on the square columns, which gave the store
tremendous character.

Woodward & Lothrop's renowned Tea Room
as a favorite Washington eatery.
