context_page_description: The Lord & Taylor Building is an 11-story commercial building located at 424–434 Fifth Avenue between West 38th and 39th Streets in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. It was built from 1913 to 1914 and was home to Lord & Taylor's flagship department store in New York City.
  The Lord & Taylor Building, designed by Starrett & van Vleck in the Italian Renaissance Revival style, contains a two-story base of limestone, a gray brick facade, copper cornices, and a chamfered corner. It was described as the first "frankly commercial" structure on Fifth Avenue above 34th Street, and replaced several of the company's previous headquarters. The building was designated a city landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission on October 30, 2007. In 2019, the building was mostly sold to workspace company WeWork, and Lord & Taylor closed its department store inside the building. In March 2020, Amazon acquired the building from WeWork.
