Stewart's Department Store in Baltimore, Maryland, took its name in 1901 when Louis Stewart acquired the building of Posner's Department Store on the northeast corner of Howard and Lexington Streets. The chain was a founding member of Associated Dry Goods or ADG. It opened its first suburban store in 1953. The downtown store was closed in 1978 and suburban stores were converted to ADG's Caldor discount chain in 1983.

The company is apparently unrelated to New York City department store pioneer Alexander Turney Stewart, and Stewart Dry Goods was a separate now-defunct Louisville, Kentucky chain.
