NYC, New York Tribune Building Design, 1873


The New York Tribune Building was a building built by Richard Morris Hunt in 1875. It was built as the headquarters of the New York Tribune, and was a brick and masonry structure topped by a Clock Tower. The Tribune was located at 154 Printing House Square on Nassau and Spruce streets, stood 260 feet tall and was one of the first high-rise elevator buildings. Originally a 9 story building, between 1903 and 1905, nine more floors were added by the architects D'Oench & Yost and L. Thouyard to make it an 18 story building. The building has been put forward as a possible candidate as the first ever skyscraper. Pace University held its first classrooms in the building, renting out one room in 1906. The building was demolished in 1966 to make room for the 1 Pace Plaza building. Hermann Claussen for Armstrong & Company, lithographs.
