424–434 Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, New York, NY 10018. This former Lord & Taylor department store sits on the west side of Fifth Avenue between West 38th and West 39th Streets. Starrett & Van Vleck designed it in the Italian Renaissance Revival style, and it was built in 1913–14. The Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the building on October 30, 2007. LPC designation report.

What to look for from Fifth Avenue

Start at the tall, recessed Fifth Avenue entrance, then look up to the limestone columns at the roofline. The display windows and stonework make the first two floors read as a single storefront, while the brick floors above give the façade a different rhythm. On the West 39th Street side, the landmark site wraps around a historically separate corner parcel. The map point comes from the city’s landmark-site record for Manhattan block 840, lot 42. Use the street address to find the entrance. LPC architectural description · NYC Open Data landmark record.

One building, two reasons to check the entrance

Amazon reported opening its Hank offices in the former department store in 2023. Its account describes carving out a central stair and bringing daylight down through a skylight. Those are features of the office conversion. General access to the offices or their interiors was unconfirmed. Amazon’s opening account.
