The store and its employees shared in the most productive moments within the lives of Washingtonians, from the elaborate holiday window displays to the Wedding Service department that helped countless brides make a selection their china patterns. For weary shoppers, the Bake Shop and seventh-floor Tea Room offered city favorites such as Wellesley Fudge Cupcakes and Chicken Pot Pie. Department store historian Michael J.
