If for no other reason, Lord & Taylor has an international reputation as the first department store to showcase their marvelous holiday window displays. This is a spectacular tradition that has been ongoing since 1938. The store has a strong Manhattan history, as it has been a New York fixture since 1826 when Samuel Lord and George Washington Taylor joined forces to open their first shop further downtown. It was not until 1914 that the elegant building went up on 38th and Fifth Avenue. One hundred years later, the tracks that allowed the window displays to be manipulated to the downstairs are still put to good use, especially during Christmas time.
