On the sign:
The long stretch of fashionable stores along Broadway below 14th Street was called “Ladies’ Mile”
Part of a series of 22 plaques surrounding Union Square depicting the history of the square from 1600 to 1882 - the year in which the first Labor Day Parade took place at Union Square, and labor movement events that were held in the United States (Union)
The plaques are made of bronze, designed by Gregg LeFevre and set up in 2002
Towards the end of the 18th century, many fashion stores moved to the South Broadway area, which is why it was called the Ladies’ Mile. Among the storehouses and department stores that have been moved are: B. Altman, Lord & Taylor, Tiffany & Co and more (some north of 14th Street as opposed to the sign) Many of the buildings exist today and are protected as part of the Ladies’ Mile Historic District.
