From our Fort Wayne Nostalgia Collection! From 1896 to 1969 Wolf & Dessauer Department Store was the crown jewel of Downtown Fort Wayne. People have always said, it was not just a store, it was an experience! From the Tea Room and Parisian Sidewalk Cafe to the extravagant Christmas window displays that rivaled any big city’s, W&D was truly iconic. Not to mention, its facade was the first home to our beloved Santa and Reindeer! W&D, gone but never forgotten.
