Descrição
This 1930 Art Deco landmark from Ralph Walker of Voorhees, Gmelin & Walker, who also designed the New York Telephone Building, still houses many communications firms from AT&T to Verizon to QWest. When it opened, the Western Union Building housed telephone, telegraph, and ticker machinery, as well as a messenger service and classrooms where Western Union messenger boys could continue high school. The 943,000 square foot facility was built for $45 million, which would equate to approximately $428 milliion in today’s market. Nineteen tones of brick shade the facade from deep red brown at the bottom to bright salmon at the top, with decoration motifs influenced by contemporary European Expressionism. The Art Deco lobby is finished in brown brick, with recessed lighting, a glazed ceiling tile and geometrically patterned brickwork and marble on the floor. The Western Union building was designated a landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1991.
