| The
Wieboldt's branch store in the Englewood shopping and entertainment
district was the firm's fifth outlet. Wieboldt's had set the trend for
Chicago department stores when it first expanded beyond its flagship
store in 1917, thus creating a nascent "chain" of stores that
could purchase collectively and pass on to customers whatever savings
was thus gained. The Englewood branch was located on the southwest
corner of 63rd and Green Streets, one block west of busy Halsted Street.
Construction of the seven-story building was begun in October of 1929,
with the formal opening coming in September of 1930.
