Building Tenants
On March 15, 1933, the fashion boutique "Joseph's" opened shops at the Hollander Building. The store was directed by Milton Wolf who formerly was president of Joseph and Benjamin Pitman, and vice-president of the original L.P. Hollander Company. Joseph's featured a number of small shops assembled under one roof. Their merchandise selection offered items as diverse as swirling gowns for spring, and swanky bags.
In December 1939, the Hollander Building was leased for twenty-one years to Stouffer's for a new unit in its chain of restaurants. The company operated other eateries at 540 Fifth Avenue and in the Pershing Square Building, in the Grand Central Station zone. Aymar Embury 2nd was the architect who redesigned the two lower floors of the establishment, with a design employing white marble, featuring a new facade.

Famous quotes containing the word building:
“And when discipline is concerned, the parent who has to make it to the end of an eighteen-hour day—who works at a job and then takes on a second shift with the kids every night—is much more likely to adopt the survivor’s motto: “If it works, I’ll use it.” From this perspective, dads who are even slightly less involved and emphasize firm limits or character- building might as well be talking a foreign language. They just don’t get it.”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
