One Grand Central Place, Renaissance Revival skyscraper in Manhattan, United States
One Grand Central Place rises 205.1 meters into the Manhattan skyline with 55 floors of brick facades and classical Italian Renaissance architectural elements.
Architect J.E.R. Carpenter completed this commercial structure in 1930, during a period of rapid skyscraper development in New York City.
The building represents the adaptation of Renaissance architectural principles to modern American construction methods of the early twentieth century.
The structure contains 31 elevators and stands near Grand Central Terminal, connecting to multiple subway lines and commuter train services.
The building's indented cornices, arched windows, and towers demonstrate the successful integration of Italian Renaissance design into Manhattan's vertical architecture.
