It stretches north from [[Washington Square Park]] in [[Greenwich Village]] to [[143rd Street (Manhattan)|West 143rd Street]] in [[Harlem]]. It is considered one of the most expensive and elegant streets in the world.<ref name="huffpost 20100921">{{cite web|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/09/21/the-worlds-most-expensive_1_n_733301.html|title=Fifth Avenue The World's Most Expensive Shopping Street (PHOTOS) (Subtext: "For the 9th year in a row, Fifth Avenue between 39th and 60th Streets ranks first among Cushman & Wakefield's Main Streets Across the World Report, according to the New York Post.")|publisher=HuffingtonPost.com, Inc|date=September 21, 2010|accessdate=October 23, 2010}}</ref><ref name="nytimes 19970429"/> ==History== 5th Avenue was originally only a narrower thoroughfare but the section south of [[Central Park]] was widened in 1908, sacrificing its wide sidewalks to accommodate the increasing traffic. The midtown blocks, now famously commercial, were largely a [[residential area]] until the turn of the 20th century. The first commercial building on Fifth Avenue was erected by [[B. Altman and Company|Benjamin Altman]] who bought the corner lot on the northeast corner of [[34th Street (Manhattan)|34th Street]] in 1896. In 1906 the [[B. Altman and Company Building]] was erected, occupying the whole of its block front. The result was the creation of a high-end shopping district that attracted fashionable women and the upscale stores that wished to serve them. The [[Lord & Taylor Building]], formerly [[Lord & Taylor]]'s flagship store and now a [[WeWork]] office, is located on Fifth Avenue near the [[Empire State Building]] and the [[New York Public Library Main Branch]]. In the 1920s, traffic towers controlled important intersections from 14th to 59th Streets. [[File:Fifth Avenue after a snow storm.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Fifth Avenue after a snow storm in 1905]] ==Description== Fifth Avenue originates at [[Washington Square Park]] in [[Greenwich Village]] and runs northwards through the heart of [[Midtown Manhattan|Midtown]], along the eastern side of [[Central Park]], where it forms the boundary of the [[Upper East Side]] and through [[Harlem]], where it terminates at the [[Harlem River]] at 142nd Street. Traffic crosses the river on the [[Madison Avenue Bridge]]. Fifth Avenue serves as the dividing line for [[house numbering]] and west-east streets in Manhattan, just as [[Jerome Avenue]] does in [[the Bronx]]. It separates, for example, East 59th Street from West 59th Street. From this zero point for ''street'' addresses, numbers increase in both directions as one moves away from Fifth Avenue, The building lot numbering system worked similarly on the East Side as well, before Madison & Lexington Aves. were retrofitted into the street grid, confusing the building numbers. Confusingly, an address on a cross street cannot be predicted at the intersection of Madison Ave. or Lexington Ave., as these were added decades after the building numbers. It's as if the two retrofitted avenues are not counted for purposes of cross street addresses. The "most expensive street in the world" moniker changes depending on currency fluctuations and local economic conditions from year to year. For several years starting in the mid-1990s, the shopping district between 49th and [[57th Street (Manhattan)|57th Streets]] was ranked as having the world's most expensive retail spaces on a cost per square foot basis.<ref name="nytimes 19970429">Foderaro, Lisa W.

By the early 20th century, this portion of Fifth Avenue had been nicknamed "[[Millionaire's Mile|Millionaire's Row]]", with mansions such as the [[Mrs. William B. Astor House]] and [[William A. Clark House]]. Entries to Central Park along this stretch include Inventor's Gate at 72nd Street, which gave access to the park's carriage drives, and Engineers' Gate at 90th Street, used by equestrians. A milestone change for Fifth Avenue came in 1916, when the grand corner mansion at 72nd Street and Fifth Avenue that [[James A. Burden II]] had erected in 1893 became the first private mansion on Fifth Avenue above 59th Street to be demolished to make way for a grand apartment house. The building at [[907 Fifth Avenue]] began a trend, with its 12 stories around a central court, with two apartments to a floor.<ref>The smallest apartment was a half-floor, of 12 rooms; [http://www.thecityreview.com/ues/fifave/fif907.htm 907 Fifth Avenue].</ref> Its strong cornice above the fourth floor, just at the eaves height of its neighbors, was intended to soften its presence.
