DescriptionEdward Ridley & Sons Department Store.jpg
The Edward Ridley & Sons Department Store at 315-317 Grand Street (right, 66-68 Allen Street) and 319-321 Grand Street (left, 65 Orchard Street) was the largest department store in the Lower East Side in the last 1900s. It was founded c.1848 and was originally located in buildings along Grand and Allen Streets which are no longer extant. The existing buildings, which were designed by Paul F. Schoen, were commissioned in 1886 by the sons of the firm's founder. Despite the new buildings, the store closed in 1901. In the early 1930s Allen Street was widened, destroying one of the buildings, and making 315-317 a corner building; a new west wall on Orchard Street, designed in the Art Deco style by John N. Linn, was also added at the time. (Source: "NYCLPC Designation Report)
