NYFE Summary
Standard Oil expanded an older headquarters into this large complex after the company’s growth and the federal antitrust case that broke up its monopoly. Successive additions joined earlier structures behind a unified street front.
The base follows Broadway’s curve. Above it, setbacks lead to a tall, narrow tower and a stepped crown. Its form makes the irregular block visible in the building’s outline.
