The Denholms Book

The book is done being written and everything has been submitted in.  It was such a great process to finally be able to highlight this once great store.  In the coming weeks I will be posting a link to the website to order the book directly. The book begins with a history of the company starting with its opening in 1871 on Main and Mechanics street, and follows with its move to 484 main street.  The facade change, Escal-Aires, visits with Santa, fashion shows and the overall modernization of the building are all covered in a behind the scenes look at the rise and fall of the Denholm and McKay Company.   In a special memoirs section, Pat Wolf (the former Presidents daughter) recounts her memories at Denholms during the stores golden years.
I hope that everyone enjoys this nostalgic trip back in time and is able to relive your days at Denholms!

  3. Chris, Bravo! Bravo!

    This is quite an accomplishment and you must be rightfully proud.

    You have done something quite wonderful. The citizens of Worcester, anyone who ever experienced Denholm & McKay owe you a debt of thanks.

    Very best of luck to you, David
