Lord & Taylor, 5255 Western Ave NW, Washington, DC. Exterior view of Western Avenue entrance, June 21 2008.

This Lord & Taylor is the chain's original outpost in the Washington area. It opened in 1959 in the Friendship Heights/Chevy Chase area and measures 146,000 square feet on two levels, along with its own parking garage. It also contains a Larry Forgione Signature Café on its second level.

Lord & Taylor's Washington store is significant in that it retains many of its original interior and exterior architectural features from the 1950s.

    That's cool that they've never touched the exterior. It looks amazing.

    Pat: They've barely touched the interior as well. It is still very much a '50s store with a '70s remodel and a '90s paintjob.

    Todd: They don't call it "the signature of American style" for nothing :-)
