Filene's Department Store - Boston City Edition - Boston, MA - Monopoly in the Real World on Waymarking.com

Filene's Department Store was a well-known department store company that has many branch stores in New England, and its headquarters and main store was located at the corner of Washington Street and Summer Street, which is where the waymark is located. This building was built in 1912. In the Spring of 2006, Macy's, which had bought the holding company that owned Filene's, eliminated the Filene's store brand and either closed or consolidated stores. Since Macy's already had a store across the street (once Jordan's), the Filene's store was closed. Currently, it is being converted for other uses. This is also the present location of the original Filene's Basement (presently closed as the building undergoes reconstruction), which is now part of a different company.

This waymark in the Massachusetts Historical Signs category has text for the two historical signs posted here: (visit link)

Filene's occupied one of the red blocks in the Boston City Edition of Monopoly.
