Jordan Marsh Department Store. Boston, Massachusetts Kids T-Shirt

Remembering the Jordan Marsh Department Store. Jordan Marsh & Company was an American department store chain that was headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts and operated throughout New England. It was founded by Eben Dyer Jordan and Benjamin L. Marsh in 1841.  After World War II, the management of Jordan Marsh announced that it would build a new store in downtown Boston. It would take up a full city block. Covering an area larger than Harvard Stadium, it would have two stories under ground; another 14 would rise into the air. It would have all the latest technology, including air conditioning, automatic doorways, block-long show windows, and radiant-heated sidewalks. They advertised it as “New England’s Largest Store.”
