120 Wall Street, Art Deco skyscraper in Financial District, Manhattan, US
The 34-floor structure reaches a height of 121.6 meters and features geometrical patterns, vertical lines, and red granite with limestone at its base.
Architect Ely Jacques Kahn completed this office building in March 1930, during the last moments of New York City's extensive construction period of the 1920s.
The building's stone carvings and decorative metalwork demonstrate the architectural preferences of early 20th-century commercial buildings in Manhattan's Financial District.
Multiple subway stations, bus stops, and ferry terminals surround the structure, making it accessible for visitors exploring the Financial District's architecture.
The building's wedding-cake design incorporates setbacks at different levels, following New York City's 1916 zoning laws that shaped Manhattan's distinctive skyline.
