Hide Profile

Originally called Bonwit's when it was founded in 1895 as a specialty shop for women's apparel in 1895, it became Bonwit Teller in 1897 when Edmund D. Teller joined as a partner. After several moves, Bonwit Teller eventually moved to its 57th Street location. When Paul Bonwit retired in 1934, the store was sold to Atlas Corporation. In 1989, L.J. Hooker, Bonwit Teller's owning company, filed for Chapter 11, and in 1990 the firm was liquidated.
