In 1890, Josephine Nordhoff (d. 1920) and her husband, Edward Nordhoff (1858-1899) arrived in Seattle and used their $1,200 savings to start a dry goods store. That tiny retail shop, which they called the Bon Marche, became one of the Pacific Northwest's most famous department stores. The 2nd Avenue store was enlarged several times. In 1928, Frank McDermott and Rudolf Nordhoff commissioned a new, $5 million building at 3rd Avenue and Pine Street, designed by prominent Seattle architect John Graham Sr., which opened in 1929. The booklet offered here commemorates the grand opening of the new Bon Marche.
