Wieboldt's, Chicago, Illinois



Wieboldt's State Street Store, acquired from
Mandel Bros. in 1961.  The portion facing

State Street was built in 1911.

Wieboldt's Wabash Avenue building was older,
 having been erected in 1905 as an addition to
Mandel Brothers ancient quarters on State Street.


In the 1970s, Wieboldt's modified the ground
floor of the building with fieldstone,
coach lamps, and weathered-copper
canopies in the style of many suburban stores.

The east side of State Street from Randolph to
Madison, with (left to right) the long-gone
Columbus Memorial Building, Chas. A. Stevens,
and Wieboldt's.
