The J. L. Hudson Company redefined the way Detroiters shopped and
enjoyed leisure time. Many Detroiters share memories of times spent
shopping and enjoying spectacular events sponsored by Hudson's. A
solid and lofty icon built by businesspeople who believed in their
passion, Hudson's defined Detroit's downtown, creating trends and
traditions in consumer culture that still resonate with us today.
Now and in the future, as Hudson's boxes, shopping bags, and
artifacts are discovered in closets, attics, basements, and flea
markets, many will remember that it was once as solid a civic
fixture as the City-County Building or the Detroit Public Library.
For over a century, the J.L. Hudsonas Department Store on Woodward
Avenue was more than just a storeait was a Detroit icon and a
world-class cultural treasure. At 25 stories, it was the worldas
tallest department store, and was at one time home to the most
exceptional offerings in shopping, dining, services, and
entertainment. The store prided itself on stocking everything from
grand pianos to spools of thread. In addition to departments
offering fashionable clothing and home furnishings, the original
Hudsonas store featured an auditorium, a circulating library,
dining rooms, barber shops, a photo studio, holiday exhibits, a
magnificent place called Toytown, and the worldas largest American
flag.
