The Crown Building has one of midtown Manhattan’s finest roofs. When seen at night, its illuminated, striking high crown with gilded details truly gives it a regal quality, befitting of its name. The French Renaissance octagonal tower section is very striking, with stone/terra cotta, dormers, parapets and a huge chimney stack. An original weathervane in the form of a rooster was removed in 1942 and melted down as part of the war effort.

Designed by Warren and Wetmore and built-in 1921, it was one of the first buildings to go up after the setback provisions of the 1916 Zoning Resolution. It was originally called the Hecksher Building after its developer August Hecksher, a German immigrant (1867) who made his wealth from mining operations. In 1929, the Museum of Modern Art opened its first gallery here in rented rooms on the 12th floor.

In the 1960s it was known as the Genesco Building and again renamed in 1983 as the Crown Building. One of the early commercial developers, Hecksher’s vision was quite prescient: “In the last analysis, whoever will not shop on Fifth Avenue and 57th Street will not shop anywhere.”

The Trump Building is a 70-story skyscraper in New York City, one of NYC’s Landmarks. Originally known as the Bank of Manhattan Trust building, and also known as the Manhattan Company Building, it was later known by its street address 40 Wall Street when its founding tenant merged to form the Chase Manhattan Bank. The building, between Nassau Street and William Street in Manhattan, New York City, was completed in 1930 after only 11 months of construction.

Its pinnacle reaches 927 feet (283 m) and was very briefly the tallest building in the world, soon surpassed by a spire attached to the Chrysler Building a few months later. In 1998, the building was designated a landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission. The tower is the tallest mid-block building in New York City.
