An illustration, announcing the store's September 15, 1924 opening only hinted at the beauty and grandeur of Saks Fifth Avenue's new building next to St. Patrick's Cathedral on Fifth Avenue. |
Saks Fifth Avenue's landmark store became an icon for luxury retailing. |
Another illustration, this time from above, shows how the building steps back like a wedding cake above the seventh floor. |
Saks Fifth Avenue remains to this day one of the best and most remarkable retail structures and has uniquely retained some of the atmosphere of the golden days of department store retailing. |
