Barclay-Vesey Building, Art Deco skyscraper in Lower Manhattan, United States
The Barclay-Vesey Building is an Art Deco skyscraper in Lower Manhattan with a stone facade of limestone and granite. The structure features characteristic elements of this style, including stepped setbacks and detailed ornaments that emphasize its vertical lines.
The building was completed in 1930 and was among the first to implement New York's 1916 zoning regulations through stepped setbacks. These setbacks were designed to allow more light and air to reach the streets below.
The building displays Art Deco ornaments throughout its exterior, from geometric patterns to elaborate decorative details visible at every level. These elements reflect how 1930s New York office culture sought to blend beauty with function.
The structure sits near several subway stations, making it easily accessible by public transit. The area provides multiple entry points to explore the neighborhood and understand the building's role in the financial district landscape.
After September 11, the building sustained severe damage but underwent complete restoration while preserving its original architectural features. Today, visitors see the restored structure in full condition.
