    *Wurzburg's Department Store was founded by Frederick W. Wurzburg in October of 1872 and
    was considered the city's finest department store from the 1920's into the late 1960's.
    Wurzburg's featured upscale clothing and fine home goods, many imported from Europe -- an unusual practice for the time.
