1970s: ”Joseph Horne Co. department stores”. Although Joseph Horne stores are signs of the past, the once popular retail chain has its special place etched into the collective memory of Pittsburgh.
Many residents still reminisce about the first department store in Downtown Pittsburgh, located in a seven-story building at Penn Avenue and Stanwix Street. The building is still a landmark. And Horne’s had been remembered and praised as a 145-year-old Pittsburgh tradition.
Joseph Horne started his department store business in 1849 and built a landmark location for his store in Downtown in 1879.
Those reading the pages of The Pittsburgh Press or the Post-Gazette from the early 1920s and ’30s certainly came across Joseph Horne ads on multiple pages of the newspapers. The Downtown Horne’s took a lead in defining what was fashionable, what was trendy and what often was not affordable to everyone in Pittsburgh.
Joseph Horne’s Co disappeared more than two decades ago. In 1994, Lazarus, a division of Federated Department Stores, bought 10 Joseph Horne Co. department stores.
