Bergdorf Goodman, New York City, New York



In 1928, Bergdorf Goodman moved to the corner
of 58th Street and Fifth Avenue, on Grand Army
Plaza, near the Plaza Hotel.

Bergdorf Goodman was one tenant in a complex which
extended down Fifth Avenue to 57th Street. The com-
plex, faced in white Dover Marble, replaced the Van-
derbilt Chateau which had occupied the site.


In 1968, Bergdorf Goodman acquired the leases of
other businesses in the block and expanded to
57th Street.


The elegant luxury store remains one of the most
renowned specialty stores in the world.
