Coty Building, Commercial landmark building on Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, United States

The six-story limestone building features a French-inspired facade with a mansard roof integrated into the adjoining skyscraper at 712 Fifth Avenue.

Real estate investor Charles Gould commissioned architect Woodruff Leeming to transform this 1871 brownstone into a commercial structure in 1907.

The third through fifth floors display 276 decorative glass panes created by French glassmaker Rene Lalique, representing his only architectural work in America.

The building received New York City Landmark designation in 1985, preventing its demolition during the development of an adjacent 44-story office tower.

Behind the preserved historic facade, a four-story atrium was installed in 1990 during the construction of the modern skyscraper at 712 Fifth Avenue.
