MABLEY & CAREW
A Cincinnati, Ohio department store, founded in Cincinnati in 1877 by Joseph T. Carew and C.R. Mabley. Carew became the sole owner after Mabley's death. They established a store in Baltimore in 1884. The business grew from a small storefront into one of the premier department stores of the Midwest. The Mabley & Carew building was replaced by the Art Deco style Carew Tower in 1930, long a landmark of Cincinnati. Mabley & Carew were at that location from 1930 - 1961, then moving across 5th St. The 5th St building was demolished in 1970. They carried fine clothing, including Schiaparelli.
