Meet me under the Clock.

was the universally recognized code for a rendezvous at The Crescent department store. Crescent was sold to F&N Acquisition Corporation of Seattle, due to financial issues

and a change in shopping habits. The name was changed to Frederick & Nelson.

Although it was the same building, it was no longer the same store. The charm, history

and connection to Spokane was no longer the same, and in 1995 the store

closed for good.

though the doors may have closed, inside

the building, and inside the hearts of

Crescent’s shoppers, remain countless

memories of a store that was the heart of

the city.
