For over a century the J. L. Hudson Company redefined the way people in our area shop and enjoy leisure time. The J. L. Hudson's Department Downtown Detroit Store was more than just a store - it was a Detroit icon and a world-class cultural treasure. This store, along with the Harper Woods / Eastland location, served Grosse Pointers until the Hudson's name disappeared from the remaining stores in 2001.

This lecture is presented by Bruce Allen Kopytek and based upon his book, Hudson's: Detroit's World-Famous Department Store. His book, “Hudson’s: Detroit’s World-Famous Department Store,” is available for purchase from multiple retailers, including the Detroit Historical Society: https://shop.detroithistorical.org/pr...
