The Daily News Building, also known as The News Building, is a skyscraper at 220 East 42nd Street in the East Midtown neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City, United States. The original tower was designed by architects Raymond Hood and John Mead Howells in the Art Deco style, and it was erected between 1928 and 1930. A later addition was designed by Harrison & Abramovitz and built between 1957 and 1960.
The Daily News Building consists of a 36-story tower that is 476 feet (145 m) tall, as well as two shorter additions extending east to Second Avenue. Its architectural features include a large carved-granite entrance at 42nd Street and a rotunda lobby with a rotating globe. The original structure is an L-shaped tower that faces 41st Street to the south, Second Avenue to the east, and 42nd Street to the north, with a longer frontage on 41st Street than on 42nd Street. The annex, along 42nd Street and Second Avenue, gives the present building a rectangular lot. (Full article...)
