Architecture of New York

1882 – The Washington Building, New York, USA

Architect: Edward H. Kendall

0005

Standing at 1 Broadway at Battery Place, the Washington Building was completely remodelled with a new facade in 1921. The rooftop cupola was removed and the building was remodelled with a limestone facade instead of the red brick facade. This was done to make it more fashionably Beaux-Arts looking.
