75 Rockefeller Plaza

75 Rockefeller Plaza is a 33-story office building located on the north side of 51st Street in Manhattan. It forms part of the larger Rockefeller Center complex and features a mix of Art Deco and International Style design from the mid-twentieth century.

Completed in 1947, the building was the first fully air-conditioned skyscraper in New York City at the time. It represents an important milestone in how modern office buildings were designed and equipped in the city.

The building once carried the name of a major oil company that dominated its identity for decades. Today it stands as part of a larger cultural and commercial hub where office workers and visitors move through modernized interiors that reflect New York's ongoing evolution.

The main entrance is on 51st Street and provides direct access to the renovated lobby areas inside. The building is well connected by public transit and benefits from being adjacent to the larger Rockefeller Center with its various shops and services.

The original ground floor housed Schrafft's Restaurant, a popular brasserie that served large crowds of diners throughout the day. This historic dining space tells a story about the food culture and daily life of the Rockefeller Center area in past decades.
