Designed in 1949, and built in 1950, everyone in Oxnard
the F.W. Woolworth Company (with which we are NOT
affiliated), closed all of it’s thousands of stores in North
America, and the building remained vacant until 2003. Then, we
began restoration. Most everything at the building, from the
famous red-ribbon sign, to the wood floors, have been restored
to better-than-new condition. Whenever possible, the original
doors, molding, hardware, and other materials have been used.
One of the two new downstairs lobbies features The
WOOLWORTH Museum, with hundreds of rare Woolworth’s
items and photos from stores across the country. An antique
phone booth with working dial pay-phone, classic “take-your-
own-photo” booth, (like those you saw at the Woolworth stores),
antique, working vending machines, and other period features,
including floors, bathroom tile, light fixtures and more,
make this building feel like it did in the 1950’s and 60’s.
