Neiman Marcus Building

Neiman Marcus Building, Renaissance Revival department store in downtown Dallas, United States.

The Neiman Marcus Building is a former department store at Main and Ervay streets, designed by George Dahl and opened on September 15, 1914 with four floors of red brick and white stone in Renaissance Revival style. A 1927 addition facing Ervay to Commerce Street doubled the retail space, replaced the brick veneer with white terra cotta and enlarged the entrances. Two floors added in 1951–1953 and another in 1983 brought it to nine stories.

Designed by George Dahl for Herbert Marcus, Abraham Lincoln Neiman and Carrie Marcus Neiman, the store opened on 15 September 1914 at Main and Ervay, replacing the 1907 Elm Street shop that burned in 1913. A 1927 addition facing Ervay to Commerce Street doubled the retail space and clad the exterior in white terra cotta. Two floors were added in 1951–1953, a seventh in the late 1950s and two more in 1983, bringing it to nine stories. It closed on 30 September 2026 after 112 years.

The store's sixth-floor Zodiac restaurant served lunch for over 70 years and drew downtown Dallas's business and social figures. Each holiday season the exterior was covered in thousands of lights, a Christmas tree was commissioned and window displays were unveiled to waiting crowds. On closing day, September 30, 2026, a bagpiper played "Amazing Grace" and a singer performed "My Way".

The building occupies the block bounded by Main, Ervay and Commerce streets in the Main Street District; the 1927 Ervay addition runs through to Commerce. The store closed permanently on September 30, 2026, so the interior, including the former Zodiac restaurant on the sixth floor, is no longer open to shoppers.

The December 19, 1964 fire destroyed $5–10 million in merchandise, art objects and antique furniture, the costliest blaze in Dallas history. The store reopened 27 days later. When it finally closed on September 30, 2026, collector Dale T. Smith bought the last item, a bottle of Tom Ford cologne, as a bagpiper played "Amazing Grace".
