Summary
San Francisco’s Vanished Emporiums: A Nostalgic Journey Through Lost Department Stores
In the late nineteenth century, San Francisco’s merchant princes erected grand stores for a booming city, each carefully carving out its own niche. For the eager clientele, a trip downtown was an event in itself, demanding proper attire – hats, gloves, and stockings were a must. And no visit was complete without stopping at Blum’s for Coffee Crunch Cake.
