Broadway-Chambers Building, Beaux-Arts skyscraper at Broadway and Chambers Street, Manhattan, US
The Broadway-Chambers Building rises 18 floors with a granite base, red brick shaft, and terra cotta cap at 277 Broadway in Manhattan.
Completed in 1900 as Cass Gilbert's first New York City project, the building earned recognition at the Paris Exposition through its scaled steel model display.
The structure demonstrates the transition of Manhattan's commercial architecture through its classical column design translated into modern building features.
The office building maintains its original function since 1900, with the first tenants including insurance companies and confectionery businesses.
The building's facade incorporates multicolored glazed terra cotta, introducing an innovative technique for commercial structures in New York City during that period.
