F  Filene's Department Store

Filene's Department Store was founded in Boston in 1881, and under family management grew and expanded in succeeding decades to fill an entire block on Washington Street.  In 1912 a new flagship store, designed by D. H. Burnham & Company of Chicago, open to great fanfare.  In 2006 Filene's became part of Macy's and the historic store was closed since a more modern Macy's already existed across the street.  The buildings were sold to developers, newer additions were demolished, and since landmark status only covered the building exterior, the interiors were gutted.
