Denholms Directory

When the Denholm building was being renovated in 1985 (into offices). I was able to go in and take whatever memorabilia I wanted.  There was not too much there, as the building had been stripped in preparation for the massive remodel that was taking place.  I was able to get the old directory from the third floor bank of elevators.  Below is how the store was layed out and the various departments within it.

  3. I wonder whatever became of the big, blue "Denholm" signs that stood over their Main Street and High Street entrances. I LOVED those signs. The lettering was so "Mad Men!" (Pegggy Olsen would have been a Denholn's shopper!)

  4. I have been looking for those signs for the past 20 years. Unfortunately I think they are in a dump somewhere. I did have the signs recreated and have them in my basement.

    Every time I watch Mad Men, I think of Denholms and my grandmother. The sixties was grand for the store and it was going through a lot of cosmetic upgrades, i.e. the escalators, boutique shopping, the first floor renovation etc...I would hope Joan would shop there as well!

  5. Question: On the directory I see references to "Chatham 1, Chatham 2, etc." - but I don't recall ever seeing an actual store entrance on Chatham Street.

    I remember the vacant lot on the corner of Main & Chatham Streets. Was the building that once stood there part of Denholm's? If so, are there any photos of the building?

    PS - I think you're right: Joan is a Denholm's gal!

  14. When you first visit Dubai, you should go on a

    Evening desert safari low price. Why? Because it is the most enjoyable way to experience the desert, and you can taste the local food and - high tourism, local Bedouin culture.

    My husband and I have not yet gone on a desert safari. We are interested in the whole branch that the city offers. But when our friends came to visit, we decided it would be nice to do one of these safaris.

    We don’t really know what to expect when the car wakes up to start our adventure of Desert safari low price, but it was all a very exciting experience!
