8. The Company Once Used a Steam Wagonette to Transport Customers to Herald Square From 14th Street

Macy’s Herald Square’s New York predecessor was a store on 6th Avenue and 14th Street called R.H. Macy Dry Goods. The early 20th century, 14th Street was Manhattan’s prime dry goods district. When Macy’s moved to its current location on 34th Street, the company paid for a steam wagonette to ferry customers from 14th Street to 34th Street.
