Circle East

Hutzler Brothers Company was a department store founded in Baltimore in 1858. From its humble beginning as a small dry goods store at the corner of Howard and Clay Streets in Downtown Baltimore, Hutzler’s eventually grew into operating a successful chain of department stores in Maryland. In 1952, after nearly 100 years of operating exclusively at the original site, Hutzler’s opened its first department store in Downtown Towson. The store was originally designed for customers using vehicles rather than pedestrian traffic.
