1. Neiman-Marcus Marker
In 1907 Herbert Marcus, Sr., his sister Carrie Marcus Neiman and her husband A. L. Neiman founded the prestigious Neiman-Marcus retail establishment. After the firm's first store at Elm and Murphy streets burned in 1913, a new store was constructed at this site. Many of the retail innovations instituted here have had a dramatic effect on stores and manufacturers throughout the country. Under the direction of Herbert Marcus, Sr., the store also became a leader in the support of philanthropic projects, civic activities and Dallas' early commercial development.
Erected 1982 by Texas Historical Commission. (Marker Number 6797.)
