Info Post


In 1949, Frederick & Nelson announced that its 5-story
building in downtown Seattle would be expanded by
the addition of 4 floors.
Several schemes were examined, but a restrained,
modern adaptation of the original building was
chosen as shown in this rendering.
Frederick & Nelson's remodeled facility soon took
its place as Seattle's Grande Dame retailer.

The sleek, luxurious interior of the expanded store
was elaborately decorated for the Christmas holiday
season, and was a favorite subject for photographers.

Another view of the store's iconic first floor,
embellished with Christmas decorations.

Topped with flags, the newly-remodeled store
first welcomed customers on Grand Opening Day,
August 7, 1952.

"A division of Marshall Field & Company since 1929"
