Macy's Department Store once operated under dedicated ZIP code 15281 in downtown Pittsburgh. This location was formerly the flagship Kaufmann's store, a Pittsburgh institution founded in 1871 by German-Jewish immigrant brothers Jacob and Isaac Kaufmann. The original store at 1916 Carson Street grew into "The Big Store" at 400 Fifth Avenue, built in 1887. The iconic bronze Kaufmann's clock, installed in the 1890s, gave rise to the famous phrase "meet me under the Kaufmann's clock." The "Macys Department Store" postal alias was added in July 2007.
The Kaufmann family sold the store to May Company in 1946, and Federated Department Stores converted Kaufmann's to Macy's on September 9, 2006. Macy's closed the downtown Pittsburgh location on September 20, 2015, ending 128 years of department store operations at the site. Both the flagship building and the clock are designated Pittsburgh Historical Landmarks. Postal records identify 1 ZIP+4 code for this designation. Pittsburgh is the valid mailing city.
