Altman's, covering an entire block, eight stories in height, with an addition that rises twelve stories, is a stately guardian of the corner at which the Avenue becomes the Lane of magnificent commerce.

The building, of French stone, was designed by Trowbridge and Livingston.

Directly across the street is an entrance to McCreery's, although that establishment faces on Thirty-fourth Street.
Above McCreery's, opposite the corner where the New York Club once had its home, and on property part of which was formerly the house of the Engineers Club, is Best's, once Lilliputian in more than one sense, but no more so.

Thereafter every block has its imposing monument to commerce.

Silverware is represented by Gorham's at Thirty-sixth Street.
Furs in magnificent display fill the windows of Gunther's Sons between Thirty-sixth and Thirty-seventh.
