NYFE Summary

Shipping and railroad businesses occupied offices overlooking the Hudson waterfront here. Their headquarters gave commercial tenants a prominent address close to the port.

The long facade rises to pointed arches, carved ornament and a steep roof. Look upward from the surrounding streets to compare the repeated office windows with the more elaborate upper floors. The former rooftop restaurant is part of the building's history, not a verified visitor facility today.
