NYFE Summary
The telephone company built a large regional headquarters as service expanded through Brooklyn and Long Island. The building combined office functions with the needs of a growing communications system. Its upper floors step back from the street toward a central tower.
Different sizes and patterns of orange brick create vertical folds and horizontal bands. Abstract metal details frame the lower openings and Bridge Street entrance. These small details continue the movement suggested by the tower’s larger setbacks.
