The Denver Dry Goods Company, also known as "The Denver" ... (from Wikipedia)
... was established in Denver, Colorado in 1879 by Michael. J. McNamara and L.H. Flanders as
M.J. McNamara & Company and later The McNamara Dry Goods Company.The company's beginnings go back to 1876 when they both worked as clerks at another Denver dry goods store.
In 1877, McNamara left that store and formed a partnership with Edgar H. Drew.
After two years, Drew left and L. H. Flanders came on as co-owner. In 1893, McNamara turned the store's ownership over to Dennis Sheedy and Charles Kountz and
in 1894, the company was reorganized under the name, "Denver Dry Goods Company".For a while it was claimed to be the largest department store west of Chicago. A postcard from 1916 read:
"The Largest Store in the Central West, 400 Feet long-Seven Acres Floor Area,
1,200 Employees, A $2,500,000 Stock, 15th to 16th on California Street Denver Colorado".The Denver Dry Goods Company later became part of Associated Dry Goods (ADG). ADG invested in expanding The Denver, both with suburban stores in the greater Denver market.The store was acquired by May Company as part of Associated Dry Goods Corp. in 1986, 9 of the 12 locations were
shut down and sold off and the remaining 3 units were converted to May-Daniels & Fisher stores in 1987.
The original downtown store was built in 1889 and was expanded in 1898, 1906 and 1924; converted to apartments in 1994.
