What is this?
The Chevy Chase Historical Society invites local residents to an illustrated lecture, "The Glory Days of Washington's Grand Department Stores: A Nostalgic Look Back."
Michael Lisicky, author of 11 books about once-iconic department stores including “Woodies” in Washington, DC and Chevy Chase, will be the featured speaker. He will focus on Woodward and Lothrup, Garfinckels, Hecht’s and other now-shuttered DC stores, beloved for their elaborate holiday window displays, wedding services and Tea Room specialties.
A reception of light refreshments will follow Lisicky’s talk. Copies of his 2013 book, "Woodward and Lothrup: A Store Worthy of the Nation’s Capital," will be available for sale and signing by the author. No reservations are required, and the program is free. Questions may be directed to CCHS at 301/656-6141.
