D. H. Holmes was a New Orleans department store and later a New Orleans based chain of department stores. The company was founded in 1842 by Daniel Henry Holmes, after whom it is named. In 1849 he moved his headquarters to Canal Street. D.H. Holmes's main building on Canal Street was long considered a landmark, partly because of a clock on the front of the building. When Canal Street was a major shopping area, under the clock at D.H. Holmes was a proverbial place to meet someone. At the beginning of the novel A Confederacy of Dunces , Ignatius Reilly agrees to meet his mother there. Very Good Condition, Original Condition Unaltered.
