Helmsley Building, Office building in Midtown Manhattan, US.

The Helmsley Building stands 172 meters tall with 35 floors, featuring limestone and pink granite facades at 230 Park Avenue between East 45th and 46th Streets.

Warren and Wetmore designed this Beaux-Arts building in 1929 as part of Terminal City, a development complex surrounding Grand Central Terminal in New York City.

The building displays sculptures depicting industrial advancement and contains a glass ball lantern atop its ornate cupola, reflecting railroad-era architectural elements.

Bronze chandeliers illuminate the marble lobby, where decorative elements incorporate New York Central Railroad initials throughout the architectural details.
