1 Wall Street, Art Deco skyscraper in Financial District, Manhattan, US

1 Wall Street is an Art Deco skyscraper in Manhattan's Financial District that rises 50 stories with a limestone facade. The exterior features curved bays with fluted patterns and is topped by an elaborate crown detail.

The building was constructed between 1929 and 1931 by architect Ralph Thomas Walker and replaced an earlier insurance building. Its completion occurred during New York's period of rapid financial growth.

The Red Room lobby features intricate mosaic murals by artist Hildreth Meière that celebrate wealth and creative expression through detailed tilework. People moving through this space encounter bold artistic statements at every level, from floor to ceiling.

The interior combines residential units with commercial spaces and extensive amenities throughout the building. Visitors can view the distinctive lobby design and explore the lower-level public areas.

Below ground level sits a massive vault with walls composed of iron, steel, and concrete positioned deep beneath street level. This underground structure features remarkably thick barriers that reflect the building's banking heritage.
