G. Fox & Company Store in Hartford, CT
Growing
up in the 50s in Wethersfield CT, we would often go to Hartford. Our Dad would drop Mom, Caren and me off and
we would go to the dentist on some trips, followed by a trip to G. Fox and Co.
Department Store where we loved to go up to the mezzanine and look at the books. Often we bought a new book such
as Nancy Drew, Cherry Ames, and the Hardy Boys. So much fun even if the first stop was the dentist. We would then take the city bus home
typically, getting off at Silas Deane Highway near or at Mill Road in
Wethersfield.
G. Fox
is no longer there though the building is comprised of small retail spaces and offices
I think. G. Fox was located at 960 Main
Street and was a family-owned department store which opened sometime in the
1850s and was sold to the May department store group in the mid 1960s - about
100 years. I can't personally think of
a family-owned department store like that today in America.
