Astor Estate Debates Department Store Plan on Sixth Avenue
Reports said a great department store would rise with a Western tenant linked to a large local store owner. The frontage spanned 197.6 feet on the avenue and 137.3 feet on Twenty-sixth Street, but trustees and Mr. Astor’s secretary disputed this, noting no tenant had been secured yet. The proposed site location near Herald Square drew skepticism as news noted the line's northward movement.
