NYC, Gillender Building, 1900
The Gillender Building was an early 20 story skyscraper in the Financial District of Manhattan. It stood on the northwest corner of Wall Street and Nassau Street, on a narrow strip of land along Nassau Street measuring only 26 by 73 feet. The Gillender Building was praised as an engineering novelty, and was quoted by some as "one of the wonders of the city". It attracted attention for a visible disproportion of height and footprint which commanded a relatively low rentable area, and was deemed economically obsolete from the start. The Gillender Building was sold in 1909 for a record price of $822 per square foot of land, and was demolished in 1910 to make way for the 41 story Bankers Trust tower at 14 Wall Street.
