HistoryJoseph Winchester Robinson was a merchant from Waltham, Massachusetts who moved to Riverside, California in 1882 to develop orange groves. Robinson found the quality of goods and service from local merchants lacking, and reentered the retail business, utilizing his contacts on the East Coast to deliver superior merchandise.
Robinson opened the Boston Dry Goods Store in 1883 at the corner of Spring and Temple Street, stating that his store offered \"fine stocks and refined \'Boston\' service.\" In 1891, J. W. Robinson died at the age of 45 and his son, Henry Winchester Robinson, came from Boston to Los Angeles to take over the business, and the \"Boston Dry Goods Store\" was renamed the \"J. W. Robinson Company\" in honor of its late founder.
1887–1895: Spring Street store
Boston Dry Goods (J. W. Robinson Co.) New Store (1887), 171–173 Spring Street, Los AngelesIn 1887, J.W. Robinson Co.\'s Boston Dry Goods Store moved to 171–173 Spring Street, considered an adventurous move because at that time, the location was far from the Central Business District. When Robinson\'s moved again in 1895, Nathaniel Blackstone, brother-in-law of J.W. Robinson, moved into the vacated space and founded Blackstone\'s Dry Goods, which would become a single-location downtown department store in its own right.
Mr. C. W. R. Ford, who had owned his own wholesale store at 522 Market Street in San Francisco, married Robinson\'s widow and took over as president of the Robinson\'s company.
1895: Broadway, \"across from City Hall\"
