Right on! I read fabric for fashion. A favorite haunt when I am in town.
Love the variety of shops and eateries.

I don't know about the 19th C., but there is one today around 2nd or 4th

area was razed for re-development in the last quarter of the 20thC. There
was one remeining store in the (?) area the first time I was checking out
yellow pages listings.
The current district in the vicinity of 4th Street and Bainbridge (which
is
what I assume Kathleen is referring to ) is not, strictly speaking,
a "fashion district". It's more of a fabric district; there are a
concentration of good fabric sellers in that area.
