Park Row Building, Historic skyscraper at Park Row, Financial District, US
The Park Row Building rises 391 feet with twin copper cupolas, featuring a neoclassical facade divided into six horizontal sections across 30 floors.
Completed in 1899 under architect R.H. Robertson, the structure stood as the tallest office building in the world until the Singer Building surpassed it in 1908.
The building housed multiple newspaper offices and the first IRT subway headquarters, marking its role in New York City's communication and transportation development.
After serving as office space for 4,000 workers from 1,000 companies, the building transformed into residential apartments during the early 2000s renovation.
The foundation utilizes Georgia spruce piles driven into wet sand, supporting 8,000 tons of steel through an innovative engineering system.
