NYFE Summary
The publishing firm followed the movement of shops north along Fifth Avenue. Its new home combined offices with a large bookstore at street level.
A broad, shallow arch spans the old bookstore entrance and display windows. Black metalwork curls around the glass and continues into the decorative panels above it. Look higher for balconies, carved faces and the large central roof dormer.
