Neiman Marcus, Dallax TX

Just the name "Neiman Marcus" is enough to make shopaholics across the globe salivate. The words have become synonymous with high fashion and world famous designers. And it all started right here in Dallas with one little store. The first Neiman Marcus was opened in Dallas in 1907 by Herbert Marcus, Sr., his sister Carrie Marcus Neiman and her husband A.L. Neiman. Their intention was simple but ambitious for the time – to fashionably clothe the entire Dallas community. It was located at the corner of Elm and Murphy Streets in downtown Dallas. That building was destroyed by fire in 1913. Undaunted, the family began construction on a new store at the corner of Main and Ervay Streets.
The store opened in 1914 and was expanded in 1926 to include the property next door at Commerce and Ervay Streets. This construction was completed in 1927, on the eve of The Great Depression. That same building houses the store today and bears a plaque from the Texas Historical Commission. This piece of Dallas history now boasts 30 Neiman Marcus stores nationwide, as well as a thriving mail order business. Hungry? The downtown "Neiman's" is also home to the NM Cafe and the celebrated Zodiac. Charter a limousine or a limo party bus to go in style.
