  1. I thought the exterior of some of the Penney's was eye-catching. The Macy's sign that overhangs the cars definitely takes the cake!

    In this world of other stores becoming Macy's, I wonder if this one has always been a Macy's?

  2. This store was built as a Macy's. The only New York-area Macy's stores that weren't labeled as such were the ones in the Bamberger's division.

  3. Very nice to see a Macy's that's not a plain whitewashed box. They should have built more stores with this design. The entrance is the most elegant feature along with the 1970s ceiling design that's a nice change from dropped roof ceiling tiles and open "industrial chic" duct work exposed ceilings that are currently in vogue.

  4. Macy's built stores that were similar in feel to this one, but there aren't any that look like this exactly. This was a special design for Stamford, and a good one at that.

    The mall interior is a classic Taubman design. Taubman malls aren't known for their daring architecture, but they're pleasant and elegant and that's what matters.

  5. Several of the Atlanta stores had this lit/engraved style sign (although not nearly that HUGE), thinking particularly of Towne Center.

  6. I think Town Center was the only Atlanta Macy's built as a Macy's.
