Shartenberg's Department Store

The department store began as A. C. Wilcox, (later called A. C. Wilcox & Company) a dry goods store, in 1836.^[3] After the death of A.C. Wilcox, it became The Howe & Stetson Co., and was greatly enlarged. In 1906, the business was purchased and became the Shartenberg-Robinson Department Store, and finally Shartenberg's Department Store.^[4]

The business was sold to Nelson Miller of New York in 1952^[5] and closed its doors April 21, 1962.^[6]

The building was razed in either 1962^[7] or 1964. The Shartenberg Site, as it came to be known, was used as a parking lot until 2008, when groundbreaking for the 31-story 360 State Street building commenced.^[8][9]
