Scribner Building, Commercial building in Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, United States.

The Scribner Building features a limestone facade with vertical piers displaying busts of Franklin, Caxton, Gutenberg, and Aldus Manutius at 597 Fifth Avenue.

Charles Scribner's Sons commissioned architect Ernest Flagg to design this ten-story Beaux-Arts structure, which was constructed between 1912 and 1913 in Midtown Manhattan.

The building served as a meeting place for notable authors F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway, who collaborated with editors in the upper floor offices.

The ground level space has transformed from its original Scribner's Bookstore into modern retail establishments, while maintaining its architectural character through preservation laws.

The structure incorporates a distinctive glass-and-iron storefront across its lower two stories, enhanced with black and gold ornamental details.

Location: Manhattan

Architects: Ernest Flagg

Architectural style: Beaux-Arts
