The narrative chronicles the rise and fall of a once-thriving department store, originally known as Goodfellows, which transformed into a community hub under George Draper Dayton's leadership. Established in 1902, the store became renowned for its inviting atmosphere, customer-friendly policies, and diverse offerings. It fostered a unique community spirit, hosting various social activities and amenities. As urban department stores faced decline, Dayton's legacy reflects broader retail challenges while highlighting its historical significance in the Midwest, including pioneering the first indoor mall.
