to read a new history
of Weinstock's, as
published by
The History Press

Weinstock's occupied an imposing building on K
Street, which, while only 3 stories in height, featured
an imposing arched entryway.


Weinstock's building superseded an earlier store,
which had, in 1908, replaced the original store
that was destroyed by fire in 1903.


Weinstock's was modernized over the years, and
became a landmark in downtown Sacramento.

The Harris Company, San Bernardino, California



Founded in 1905, The Harris Company moved to a beautiful new
building embellished with churrigueresque ornament
in autumn of 1927


The store was a shopping destination in the so-called "Inland Empire;"
its mezzanine-level Cafe Madrid became famous for its gourmet
food served in an entrancingly beautiful environment.

In 1973, Harris' expanded and formed an anchor of a downtown mall,
though the the building's windows were blocked-up and the famous
mezzanine was removed,

The Marston Co., San Diego, California



Founded in 1878, Marston's outgrew
earlier locations and advertised a new
building to be opened in 1912.


Marston's familiar Neo-Renaissance building
was a landmark in downtown San Diego for
many years and a popular and elegant
shopping venue.


Marston's occupied space in adja-
cent buildings along 5th street,
but demolished these in order to
build a new addition as indicated
by the faint white dotted line.


In 1954, Marston's expanded into a new,
6-story addition on 5th street.


Marston's expanded its home-furnishings
selection in 1960 by occupying space
in the former Parmelee-Dohrmann building
at 7th and C streets.
