Image by wallyg
85 Fifth Avenue was built in 1901 for Leo Wise to the design of architect Louis Korn. The thirteen story neo-Renaissance store and loft building was built on the site of the home of the noted New York City banker and politician, Levi Parson Morton, who became vice president under Benjamin Harrison.
The Ladies Mile Historic District, an irregular district defined roughly from 18th Street to 24th Street and Park Avenue South to Avenue of the Americas, preserves 440 buildings on 28 blocks. Between the Civil War and World War I, the district was the location of some of New York’s most famous department stores, including Lord & Taylor, B. Altman, W. & J. Sloane, Arnold Constable, Best & Co., and Bergdorf Goodman. Also included is Daniel H. Burnham’s Flatiron Building, at Fifth Avenue and 23rd Street; most of the Ladies’ Mile Historic District lies within the Manhattan neighborhood named after that building, the Flatiron District.
The Ladies Mile Historic District was designated a historic district by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1989.
