St. Paul Building, Early 20th-century skyscraper in Manhattan Financial District, United States
The St. Paul Building is a skyscraper in Manhattan's Financial District that rises 96 meters into the air. It features early high-rise architectural elements and stands at the corner of Ann Street and Broadway.
The building was completed in 1898 and marked a significant advancement in construction techniques of that era. It was part of the vertical development that shaped New York's skyline during this period.
The building shapes the streetscape with its distinctive design from when businesses sought offices in modern skyscrapers. It shows how the city's commercial world began to grow and reach upward during that period.
The building is easy to reach and sits in a busy area with good transit connections through multiple subway lines. It is best explored on foot, and the surroundings offer various shops and restaurants.
The building was among the first to use innovative steel frame construction methods at large scale. This approach influenced later skyscrapers and became a model for many other projects in the city.
