The American Express Building at 65 Broadway in between Morris and Rector Streets in the Financial District of Manhattan, New York City was built in 1914-1917 and was designed by James L. Aspinwall of the firm of Renwick, Aspinwall & Tucker in the Neoclassical style. The 21-story building goes through to Trinity Place, and was the headquarters of American Express until 1975. The building is now sometimes called the Standard & Poors Building, but should not be confused with another building using that name at 25 Broadway.
The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the concrete and steel-frame building a New York City landmark in December 1995.
Famous quotes containing the word broadway:
“... here hundreds sit and play Bingo; here the bright lights of Broadway burn through a sea haze; here Somebodies tumble over other Somebodies and over Nobodies as well.”
