John Wanamaker, New York




The John Wanamaker store was built
in 1906 as an annex to the old A.T.
Stewart store to the north which Wana-
maker had acquired.

A view of the Wanamaker store from Astor Place re-
veals the Renaissance palazzo-like design of the store
by architect Daniel Burnham, who was also responsible
for the Philadelphia Wanamaker store.


"Let those who follow me continue to
build with the plumb of honor, the
level of truth, and the square of integrity,
education, courtesy and mutuality."
