NYFE Summary

Printing presses, composing rooms and packing departments originally occupied the lower floors. Editorial and executive offices sat higher up, while finished publications left through shipping bays on West 41st Street.

Blue-green terra-cotta bands run between long rows of windows. The building looks like a stepped tower from the east or west, while its broad north and south fronts appear flatter.
