NYC - Flatiron: 900 Broadway
Beecher's Handmade Cheese, in the Goelet Building at 900 Broadway, is an artisan cheesemaker, café and gourmet retail shop. In 2003, Kurt Beecher Dammeier and cheesemaker Brad Sinko opened the first Beecher's Handmade in Seattle's Pike Place Market. He expanded to New York's Flatiron District in June, 2011. Unlike most artisan cheese makers, Beecher's mainly uses pasteurized milk and operates a high-volume modern production facility, with multiple farms supplying milk. As with the Seattle location, the cheese made in New York City is made from premium milk from local herds just south of Albany. The facilities have a capacity of over three tons of cheese a day.
The Goelet Building was built in 1886 by Stanford White for the brothers Robert and Ogden Goelet. In 1905 the Goelet heirs leased the building to real estate developer Henry Corn, who hired Maynicke & Franke to remove the top floor for an addition that resulted in a 10-story building.
The Ladies Mile Historic District, an irregular district defined roughly from 18th Street to 24th Street and Park Avenue South to Avenue of the Americas, preserves 440 buildings on 28 blocks. Between the Civil War and World War I, the district was the location of some of New York's most famous department stores, including Lord & Taylor, B. Altman, W. & J. Sloane, Arnold Constable, Best & Co., and Bergdorf Goodman. Also included is Daniel H. Burnham's Flatiron Building, at Fifth Avenue and 23rd Street; most of the Ladies' Mile Historic District lies within the Manhattan neighborhood named after that building, the Flatiron District.
The Ladies Mile Historic District was designated a historic district by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1989.
