EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1930, showcases the architectural grandeur of the New York Telephone Company Building, located at 140 West Street between Barclay and Vesey Streets in New York City, USA. Known at the time as the Barclay-Vesey Building, this iconic structure was designed by architects Schickel, Getty & Rochlin and opened its doors to the public in 1927. The building, a testament to the engineering and architectural prowess of the era, stands tall and proud, reaching new heights in the New York City skyline. Its sleek, Art Deco design is evident in the building's ornate detailing, including the intricate patterns adorning the exterior and the distinctive setbacks that create a sense of verticality. The New York Telephone Company Building was a groundbreaking structure in its time, featuring state-of-the-art technology and innovative design. Its construction marked a significant moment in the history of telecommunications, as it housed the headquarters and main switching offices for the New York Telephone Company. Despite the passage of time, this photograph transports us back to the 1930s, a decade marked by economic growth and innovation in America. The building's enduring beauty and historical significance make it a cherished symbol of New York City's rich architectural heritage.
