Park Row Building, Historic skyscraper at Park Row, Financial District, US
The Park Row Building is a skyscraper in Manhattan's Financial District featuring a neoclassical facade topped by twin copper cupolas. It rises across 30 stories with horizontal divisions that create visual sections along its exterior.
The building was completed in 1899 and held the distinction of being the world's tallest office building. This record stood until the Singer Building surpassed it in 1908.
The building once housed newspaper offices that shaped how New Yorkers received their news and information. This role connected it to the daily life and identity of the city's journalism community.
The building was converted to residential apartments during the early 2000s renovation, so interior access is limited. The exterior architecture and distinctive copper cupolas can be viewed from street level.
The building's foundation uses Georgia spruce piles driven into wet sand, an innovative support system from that era. This engineering approach successfully supported 8,000 tons of steel without modern equipment.
