A Bit of History (To be Continued Tomorrow) WG LEXANDER T. STEWART, of Belfast, after taking a degree A at Trinity College, at the age of 20, landed in New York at the Battery in 1823. His first work in America was teaching school in Roosevelt street, near Pearl. The turning point of his life was the loaning of a smal! sum of money to a young man friend to open a small dry goods store, It was a part of his patrimony which he brought over with him from Ireland. His friend was unable to begin busi- ness, and Mr. Stewart concluded to undertake it himself. He took the remainder of his little fortune; went to Ireiand; bought a stock of Belfast laces amounting to about $3,000, and the New York “Daily Advertiser” of September 2, 1825, announced in an advertisement “A. T. Stewart offers for sale a general assortment of Fresh Dry Goods, at 283 Broad- way,” a store 25 feet front, opposite his Jater wholesale warehouse, of which he had but a half front with a lodging-room in the rear, In 1826 he moved to 262 Broadway, a larger store, and not long afterward to 257 Broadway. (All three buildings shown in picture above.) In 1848 he built the marble store at Broadway and Chambers street. In 1862 Mr. Stewart bought part of the old Randall Farm, bounded by Ninth and Tenth and Broadway and Fourth avenue, and erected a six-story iron building with two basements, for a Retail Store. The cost of lot and structure, as stated at the time by the New York “Tribune,” “was $2,750,- 600,” and “the two stores’’ at lower and upper Broadway, “which Mr. Stewart built,are the proudest monu- ments of Cornmercial enterprise in this country. The trade transacted in them is almost fabulous.” In those days no one ever thought of classing these businesses of Mr. Stewart as DepartmentStores,though his Retail Store consisted of various Departments, including Carpets,Rugs and Furniture, Nor is the old eight- floored Stewart Store of today a De- partment Store in any sense; for it is exclusively a Woman’s Store of Dry Goods and Wearing Apparel only. After the death of Mr. Stewart, the wholesale business was discon- Alexander F. Stewart. tinued at Broadway and Chambers street, and the retail business was confined to Tenth and Broadway, and continued, in one ferm or another, until 1896, when the building and the stocks of merchandise became the property of the present owner, and the sign went up on the building JOHN WANAMAKER Formerly A. T. STEWART & CO. HE business immediately swung back to its old Polar Star and began its mew career. Mr. Stewart once said: “My business has been a matter of principle from the start. That is all there is about it.” Restoring the abandoned work of New York's greatest mer- chant; lighting up the empty house that cost nearly Three Millions of Dollars, and revivifying what was said to be a dying neighbor- hood is now a part of the history of the greatest Commercial City SA. N\A of the world. Ten years’ growth of the business at Tenth and Broadway overloaded the old Stewart Building and compelled impossible enlargements or removal to another neighbor- hood. We determined to stop at the old neighborhood, having satisfied ourselves of the possibilities of the old location; and also resolved to avail ourselves of the cheaper lease- hoid of the old Snug Harbor, and immediately secured a w. ole block, next adjoining, upon lease of nearly one hundred years, upon which we erected a mammoth fireproof building, built expressly to convemen e and +a eguad throng: of peopie on a: floors, From the first we planned to devote this magnificent new structure toa group of , Galleries for Furnishing and Decoration, such as New York has not hitherto contained, and to introduce New ideas of administration to this business to Artists, Decorators, Architects and Home-Builders, and the people generally. On Wednesday we Shall inaugurate opening them to the public for the first time, It will be a day of courtesy. No goods will be sold in the Galleries on Wednesday, “The House Palatial” —a quarter million dollar mansion, with a Summer garden, furnished to exemplify the ideas of our new corps of special artists, Please note that all the appointments were assembled from The Wanamaker Gallery of Pianos and Organs The Wanamaker Gallery of Ceramics, Statuary and Bronzes The Wanamaker Gallery of Draperies and Upholsteries The Wanamaker Gallery of Carpets and Rugs The Wanamaker Galleries of Furniture The Wanamaker Gallery of Antiques and Curios The Wanamaker Gallery of Pictures The Wanamaker Gallery of Housefurnishings Furnishings for the simplest country home or the most luxurious city residence will be assembled at request in our Assembly Rooms to judge of effects and colors.
