224 West 57th Street, Office building in Midtown Manhattan, US.

The 11-story structure at 224 West 57th Street combines Gothic Revival and Romanesque Revival styles with decorative terracotta details and ornate arches.

Francis H. Kimball designed this dual-purpose building in 1909 for A. T. Demarest & Company and Peerless Motor Car Company during Manhattan's automotive industry growth.

The building represents early 20th-century commercial architecture and received New York City Landmark status for its contribution to Manhattan's architectural heritage.

Located near Columbus Circle, the building maintains its position as an office space while preserving its original architectural features and historic facade.

General Motors purchased and merged both sections in 1918, renaming it the Argonaut Building to differentiate it from their other Manhattan properties.
