City guideMidtown West

26 Broadway (also known as the Standard Oil Building) is a 31-story, 159 m, 520 ft New York City Designated Landmark at the southern tip of Manhattan at Bowling Green. The structure is currently the 197th tallest building in New York City and the 572nd tallest building in the United States. The building which was originally built in 1885 according to design specifications by architect Francis H. Kimball, when Standard Oil moved its location from Cleveland, Ohio. Standard Oil's first building on the site was a 10-story building 86 feet wide which extended between Broadway and North Street. It was designed by Ebenezer L. Roberts. In 1895, six stories were added and a 27-foot-wide (8.2 m) extension was made on its north side designed by Kimball & Thompson.[5] After World War I, Walter C. Teagle made the decision to greatly expand the structure by buying all four neighboring buildings on the block. It was extensively overhauled and virtually rebuilt in 1921-1928 by Thomas Hastings the surviving partner of Carrère and Hastings with Shreve, Lamb and Blake as associate architects.[5] Hastings, who had helped design the Cunard Building (later called the Standard & Poors Building) across the street at 25 Broadway, was chosen as lead architect. At the time of completion, the pyramid was the tallest tower at the tip of Manhattan and was illuminated as a beacon for ships entering the harbor. Standard Oil of New Jersey (then called Esso), moved to 75 Rockefeller Plaza in 1946. The Mobil division moved to 150 East 42nd Street in 1954. Standard Oil sold the building in 1956. It is one of the first buildings in Manhattan to have setbacks and is topped by a pyramid modeled on the Mausoleum of Maussollos. The building was designated as a New York City landmark in 1995. <a href=" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/26_Broadway " rel="nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/26_Broadway</a> <a href=" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_Attribution-ShareAlike_3.0_Unported_License " rel="nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_...</a>Ken Lund from Reno, Nevada, USA / Wikimedia Commons / CC BY-SA 2.0

Overview & visitor information

Rockefeller Center’s shops occupy street-level storefronts and an underground concourse across the landmark complex between Fifth and Sixth avenues. The original record’s 75 Rockefeller Plaza label described only one building; the corrected title reflects the wider official retail directory visitors actually encounter.

The mix includes designer fashion, jewellery, beauty, books, toys, New York gifts and specialty food, with tenants distributed among several numbered buildings. Channel Gardens, the skating rink plaza and the Prometheus statue provide orientation as entrances open from different streets and interior passages.

The concourse links shops with restaurants and the 47–50 Streets–Rockefeller Center subway station, making it useful in poor weather. At street level, seasonal flags, installations and holiday displays alter the public setting, while the official directory records the precise building and level for each business.
