This building would be a signature skyscraper in any other city, but because it’s in Manhattan it just blends in with everything else and it goes unnoticed.
Agreed. It’s a gorgeous Post-Modern tower and was very comfortable to work in.
Miss you SHCA!
Perhaps a re-cladding in brushed black aluminum would
Make it a standout.
I’d say get rid of the bay windows in the top third of the building to de-age the building a bit. But man, I love this Art Deco Revival. Are you saying recladding the stone? Or recladding the panels? Cause I love the stone.
What a beautiful building – never realized till these photos!!
If New York were to have an “official” architectural style, I would vote for Art Deco.
Beautiful
It should not be reclad… its postmodern style is just entering its stride in appreciation.
