26 Broadway, Renaissance Revival skyscraper in Financial District, Manhattan, US
The 31-story building at 26 Broadway features Indiana limestone facades, double-height windows, and a stepped pyramid tower reaching 158.5 meters in height.
Standard Oil commissioned this corporate headquarters in 1884 on the former site of Alexander Hamilton's residence, with major expansions completed in 1928.
The structure represents early 20th-century corporate architecture, designed by Thomas Hastings with classical elements integrated throughout its pentagonal form.
Located adjacent to Bowling Green park, the building contains 11 elevators and maintains office spaces with access to subway stations at Whitehall and Bowling Green.
The building's apex includes a decorative cauldron that references Standard Oil's origins in kerosene production during the industrial revolution.
