Smile NEW YORK | 570 Lexington Avenue | 640 FT / 195 M | 50 FLOORS | 1931

Lost in the canyons of Midtown Manhattan, the old General Electric Building stands as a monument to art deco architecture and New York zoning. A stepped, almost ziggurat base, culminating in an extraordinarily small floor-plated tower, capped by a whimsical crown. The detailing by this tower by Cross & Cross far exceeds that of their other huge tower, the City Farmers National Bank in Lower Manhattan, and the crown has almost the feel of a gothic cathedral.



















please add more pictures to this thread, this is just what I have in my collection
