Lord’s Department Store, the longtime retail anchor of Main Street in Medfield, is shutting down in February after 73 years in business. Tom Kelly, who runs the 10,000-square-foot store with his sister, Nancy Kelly-Lavin, said the format — featuring an old-fashioned soda counter, and small departments with toys, sporting goods, clothing, hardware, and candy — was still profitable, but they were ready to move on.
The family sold the property to Dedham developers Salvatore Capital Partners. It’s unclear how the company plans to use the space.

So long to one of the last beautiful neon store signs left in Metro West. Before it goes dark, readers might want to take a look at it - perhaps someone will buy the sign and re - use it. It is worthy of preservation.
