40 Wall Street, Art Deco skyscraper in Lower Manhattan, United States.
The 71-story commercial building at 40 Wall Street features a steel and glass facade with granite elements, reaching a height of 284 meters above the financial district.
Completed in 1930 as the Bank of Manhattan Trust Building, the structure held the title of world's tallest building for four days before the Chrysler Building surpassed it.
The building represents the architectural competition of the 1920s skyscraper race in New York City, reflecting the economic growth and aspirations of the early twentieth century.
The structure contains 36 elevators serving 70 floors of office space, with multiple subway stations and transportation options located within walking distance.
In 1946, a Beechcraft C-45F airplane crashed into the northern facade of the building, causing five fatalities but no injuries to occupants inside.
