Purpose of Split off from "Macy's"
I split off this article to enable more expansive development of the story, architecture, and history of the flagship Macy's store. This separate article can carry the National Register of Historic Places infobox, which would seem out of place in the Macy's article about the chain. As a building, it was designated a National Historic Landmark; the separate article enables that to be described more fully. At first, this article is shorter than the passage in the "Macy's" article, but this should change. Please help! doncram 21:41, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Propose move
This article should be moved from "R. H. Macy and Company Store (Building)" to "Macy's Hearld Square" because that is what the store is know as both in popular culture as well as by Macy's Exexcutives it will also make the article easy to read becaus of the mte simple title — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.21.154.24 (talk) 19:28, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Not a bad idea. The article is titled as it is because that's how it's listed on the NRHP. Beyond My Ken (talk) 19:36, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree because the actual building is referred to locally as well as internally as "Macy's Hearld Square" it would also be a better fit for this article making it more eassir to find. Also why not update the photo to a current one. --Adamprin (talk) 14:50, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
 * The older photo is appropriate because the infobox is for the NRHP listing. Beyond My Ken (talk) 21:45, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
 * OK, I've moved the article. Let's see if anyone has any serious objections. Beyond My Ken (talk) 22:11, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

Largest (department) store
The world record of largest department store is indeed broken by one in Busan, South Korea. Even the Guinness Book proves it. What makes you think Macy's Herald Square is still the largest store and Shinsegae's in Busan is not? JSH-alive/talk/cont/mail 02:26, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
