"Aside from modifications to the base, the facade retains most of the original materials and ornament. An ambitious early 20th-century commercial design, it recalls the era when fashionable retailers began to replace private residences in midtown Manhattan"--Page 1.

Designed in the neo-Gothic or Perpendicular Gothic style and part of the redevelopment of the Grand Central Terminal area.
