Nelson Tower, Art Deco skyscraper in Garment District, Manhattan, United States.
Nelson Tower is a 46-story office building at 450 Seventh Avenue featuring brown stone sections and a white stone crown with a gentle slope. The structure provides office space served by 15 elevators throughout the building.
The building was completed in 1931 at the height of Art Deco construction in Manhattan, representing a major expansion of the business district. Architect H. Craig Severance and developer Julius Nelson shaped the area with this project.
The building displays stepped setbacks and ornamental details typical of 1930s commercial architecture, reflecting how Manhattan's business districts evolved during that era.
The building sits between 34th and 35th Streets, making it easy to reach by public transportation and on foot. Its location in this busy commercial area means good pedestrian access from multiple directions.
From its location, visitors can see views of Penn Station, Lower Manhattan, and the Empire State Building, offering a broad view across the city. This perspective reveals how densely packed the skyscrapers are in this area.
