Stakeley’s program titled "Kauffman" will detail the history of the Kauffman Department Store from its beginning in 1871 as a small men's store on the southside with three brothers, Morris, Jacob and Isaac, to its expansion as the iconic flagship store at the corner of 400 Fifth Street. The program is sure to bring back fond shopping recollections of "Meet Me Under The Clock", one of Pittsburgh's designated historical landmarks.
