Christopher Mabley moved to Detroit to take advantage of the new wealth booming here in the 1870's and opened the city's first major department store in 1876. As you can see by his house, the store boomed while he was alive. J. L. Hudson got his start as a manager of the Mabley clothing department before founding Hudson's in the early 1880's.
