    Description

    The Hecht Company's main department store downtown was located here at the southeast corner of 7th and F Streets, where Alexander and Moses Hecht, the sons of a German-Jewish merchant family from Baltimore, first opened a shop on March 20, 1896 at 515 Seventh Street. The current building has been completely rebuilt and restored. Overhead, an over-sized four-sided clock served--and now serves again--as a convenient landmark meeting-place for shoppers and others. Macy's acquired The Hecht Company.

    The Hecht Company's Warehouse is a Streamline Modern building, and located at 1401 New York Avenue NE, served as the company's warehouse beginning in 1937. Today, the site and surrounding area are being redeveloped.
