UPDATED----CROTON MEMORIES--ELLIOTT'S DEPARTMENT STORE---BY SPECIAL REQUEST

Welcome to The New Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship---in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

BY SPECIAL REQUEST---updated---ELLIOTT’S DEPARTMENT STORE: Long before there was a daycare center, a Yoga school, a real estate office, a Grand Union, and many other businesses at 10 Old Post Road South, Elliott’s Department Store was THE place to go for just about everything—and for decades. 

Owned initially by Robert Sr. and Barbara Elliott, it is fondly remembered as the “lynchpin” of the Upper Village---and as keenly missed when it closed then as Wondrous Things was for newer village residents.

Local contractors missed the True Value hardware---while Moms missed the clothing, housewares, domestics, and toys. One resident remembered that when it came to BACK TO SCHOOL, she did it all locally. (Click on the ad to see what the store featured in 1972.)

Elliott’s carried Buster Brown Shoes, school supplies, boys and girls clothing. Another resident, whose children attended a local dance school, said that Elliott’s even carried ballet slippers and Danskin—and that if they didn’t have something, Barbara Elliott would order it without hesitation. You could even ship your UPS parcels and overnight mail from that location. And no one ever went out of town to Christmas shop when Elliott’s was around. 

The store remains fondly remembered.....even to this day.......
