Hudson's Department Store was more than just a store - it was a Detroit icon and a world-class cultural treasure.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 25 stories, Hudson's was the world's tallest department store, and was at one time home to the most exceptional offerings in shopping, dining, services, and entertainment. The store prided itself on stocking everything from grand pianos to spools of thread. In addition to regular department store fare, the original Hudson's store featured an auditorium, a circulating library, dining rooms, barber shops, a photo studio, holiday exhibits, a magnificent place called Toytown, and the world's largest American flag. As a legendary symbol of urban and entrepreneurial American history, the J.L. Hudson's Department Store earned a permanent place in Detroit's collective memory. Although \"the big store\" no longer graces Woodward Avenue, its legacy lives on in the hearts and minds of generations, and in the remarkable photographs that preserve its reign.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738533551\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.34h x 6.44w x 0.34d","brand":"Michael Hauser, Marianne Weldon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38521533726901,"sku":"9780738533551","price":21.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_9882d1d5-8c00-47c2-8379-93b97bb195b1.jpg?v=1613486144","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/hudsons-detroits-legendary-department-store-9780738533551","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
