The building at 123 West 57th Street that
was the historic location of Stack’s Bowers has been sold to real estate
developers with future plans for the space. For 67 years, this location housed
the operations of the Stack family and organization and has been a numismatic
landmark in New York City. Collectors from all over the world would congregate
at the office to visit and talk coins, whether they were buying, selling or
participating in auctions.
Harvey Stack recalls in
early 1953 when his father, Morton, and his Uncle Joseph moved the firm to its
current location. “I was in charge of seeing that all the packing was secure, placed on
lift-back trucks and rode shot-gun to the new store. We transported show
cases,
safes, file cabinets, coin cases, rare coins, bags and rolls of our extensive
inventory, our library and the numismatic documents that framed our walls. Our new
location was surrounded by two classic hotels, the famous Steinway Hall, the
world famous Carnegie Hall, the Russian Tea Room, and more.”
The
next chapter in the Stack’s Bowers New York story is about to begin with a
beautifully remodeled space in the heart of Manhattan, just a few blocks away
at 57th and Park Avenue. Construction is currently underway, and a
spring opening is planned. Announcements will be forthcoming as progress
continues.
