A gift for friends of the Workshop
to commemorate their lineage to the Meier family. In 1857, 26-year-old Aaron Meier (great, great grandfather) opened his small mercantile on Front Street in Portland, Oregon. Twenty-eight years later he partnered with Emil Frank and the store became known as Meier & Frank. In 1909, construction began on their magnificent flagship Portland store which sits opposite Pioneer Courthouse Square in the heart of downtown. After 151 years, the Meier & Frank name was discontinued in 2008 when the store became Macy’s. Inspired by a sign seen tucked away in a 1905 photograph.
