"Doors on Broadway Series #11"Margaret's
2002 Broadway
The elegant door handles epitomized the style that Margaret's, the upscale women's speciality shop, graced Lubbock with for 50 years. The building is now occupied by College Flowers which continues the emphasis on elegance. Margaret Talkington and her husband J.T. arrived in Lubbock in the 1950s and opened their first store at 26th and Boston in the Green Acres Shopping Center. They moved to 2002 Broadway in August 1954. Shopping at Margaret's was a personalized experience. The shopper was escorted to a dressing room, seated in upholstered chairs and waited while the saleslady brought selected garments to choose from -- no rummaging through the racks like at Filene's Bargain Basement! As I recall, my first dress from Margaret's was a red and green plaid belted shirtwaist with pleated skirt and sailor collar.
