Description |
English: In 1890, German immigrant Edward Nordhoff and his wife Josephine invested their life savings of $1,200 to start The Bon Marche at First Avenue and Cedar Street. He modeled his new department store after one he had known in Paris. The Bon Marche moved to the corner of Second Avenue and Pike Street in 1896. By 1901, it had expanded along the entire Second Avenue block.
This photo, taken in about 1916, shows The Bon Marche buildings on Second Avenue. A big sign on the roof advertises the name of the store.
