Info
Adams Express Building is an office building owned by RXR Realty and located at 61 Broadway in lower Manhattan, New York City.Architect Francis Kimball designed the 32-story building for the Adams Express Company. Construction began in 1912 on the property numbers 57-61 Broadway, with numbers 33-41 Trinity Place. The cost was estimated in 1912 at $2,000,000. Upon completion in 1914, the building was the seventh tallest structure in Manhattan. Construction required 3,300 tons of steel and over a million square feet of terracotta. The New York Times described the architectural style as "Florentine" below the fifth floor, and "severely simple" above. Another critic called the style "utterly utilitarian," but the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission identified the architecture as palazzo.
