One Times Square — also known as 1475 Broadway, the New York Times Building, the New York Times Tower, or simply as the Times Tower — is a 25 story, 395 foot (110.6 m) high skyscraper at 42nd Street and Broadway in New York City.
The second tallest building in Manhattan when it opened in 1904, it was originally intended as the headquarters of the local newspaper, The New York Times. While the Times no longer operates from the building, One Times Square remains a major focal point of Times Square.

Famous quotes containing the words times and/or square:
“Him the Almighty Power
Hurld headlong flaming from th’ Ethereal Skie
With hideous ruine and combustion down
To bottomless perdition, there to dwell
In Adamantine Chains and penal Fire,
Who durst defie th’ Omnipotent to Arms.
Nine times the Space that measures Day and Night
To mortal men, he with his horrid crew
Lay vanquisht, rowling in the fiery Gulfe”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“Rationalists, wearing square hats,
Think, in square rooms,
Looking at the floor,
Looking at the ceiling.
They confine themselves
To right-angled triangles.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
