Yes, it's really the Macy's Building in Herald Square. It was built in 190102 by architects De Lemos & Cordes. It is sheathed in a Palladian façade, but has been updated in many details. Other additions to the west were added in 1924, 1928, and 1931, all designed by architect Robert D. Kohn. They are all in the Art Deco style. The building has been designated a National Historic Landmark. It has one of the few wooden escalators still in operation.
This is amazing! One can learn so much from just watching this. For example the way folk came together and worked. I bet the folk who now work in that building TOTALLY never think of the work that went into it's construction!
