01
Artifact Overview
Mrs. Cohen's Millinery, a small urban specialty store located at 444 Baker Street in Detroit, as it appeared in the mid-1890s. Widowed Elizabeth Cohen (shown at center, with daughter) supported her young family by selling inexpensive, mass-produced headwear to her middle-class customers. Like other shopkeepers, Mrs. Cohen lived above her store--making it possible to handle both business and family responsibilities.
