Barclay-Vesey Building, Art Deco skyscraper in Lower Manhattan, United States

The Barclay-Vesey Building rises 116 meters high with 32 floors, featuring geometric patterns and ornamental details across its limestone and granite exterior.

Constructed in 1930, the structure became the first skyscraper to incorporate the 1916 New York City zoning laws through its setback design principles.

The building represents a turning point in American architecture as it established new standards for corporate design through its innovative use of Art Deco elements.

Located near multiple subway stations, the building contains 23 elevators and maintains its function as an office space in the financial district.

The structure survived severe damage from the September 11 attacks and underwent complete restoration, preserving its original architectural features.
