Description
This March 7, 1941 photograph shows the entrance to Melgrims Millinery on 817 K Street. The store was opened in February 1933 at 1006 K Street under the leadership of Kansas native Mabelle Frank. Frank was a veteran of the retail industry, having previously worked at local department stores for 16 years. The store’s owner, Milton Levinson, was betting on Sacramento being one of the first cities to claw its way out of the Great Depression. He was also hoping that several New York-crafted brands would be enough to entice shoppers into the shop. By 1943, Melgrims was closed.
