The Altadena Department Store took up five store fronts on the north side of Mariposa Street, west of Lake: 731, 722, 735, 737, and 739. Today the address numbers are different.
The store sold everything from school supplies to toys to stationary to house goods. It was probably more like an old fashioned five and dime than a modern day department store.
