Coty Building, Commercial landmark building on Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, United States
The Coty Building is a six-story limestone structure with a French-inspired facade that integrates with the adjacent skyscraper at 712 Fifth Avenue. A distinctive mansard roof crowns the building, blending its historic character with the modern surroundings.
Businessman Charles Gould commissioned architect Woodruff Leeming in 1907 to convert a former brick townhouse from 1871 into a commercial structure. This transformation set the building's course as a business center, which later received landmark protection.
The middle floors display 276 decorative glass panels created by French artist Rene Lalique specifically for this building. His work here represents his sole architectural creation in the United States, giving the space a special significance.
The building sits on the popular Fifth Avenue in Manhattan and is easily accessible on foot. Its landmark status since 1985 ensures the exterior structure remains preserved and viewable for visitors.
Hidden within the building is a four-story atrium installed in 1990 during construction of the modern adjacent tower. This concealed interior space creates a striking contrast between the classical facade and contemporary inner design.
