  • BROAD EXCHANGE BUILDING, 25 Broad Street (Aka 25-33 Broad Street and 44-60 Exchange Place), Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission June 27, 2000, Designation List 316 LP-2074 BROAD EXCHANGE BUILDING, 25 Broad Street (aka 25-33 Broad Street and 44-60 Exchange Place), Manhattan. Built 1900-02; Clinton & Russell, architects. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 25, Lot 19. On May 16, 2000, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Broad Exchange Building and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 1). The hearing was duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Three people spoke in favor of designation, including representatives of Council member Kathryn Freed, and the Historic Districts Council. The Commission received a letter of support from the building's owner and a resolution of support from Community Board l. Summary Located in the heart of Manhattan's financial district, the Broad Exchange Building was, at the time of its construction in 1900-02, the largest office building with the highest estimated real estate value built in Manhattan. Designed by the renowned architectural firm of Clinton & Russell, the Broad Exchange Building contained 326,500 square feet of rentable floor area and was estimated to cost $3.25 million. The builders of the Broad Exchange used all the new technologies introduced during the 1890s in order to create taller structures. The twenty story high building has a steel frame, elevator, and caisson construction. The design of the building is a tripartite composition, common to many of New York's tum-of-the century skyscrapers with a base, shaft, and capital.

  • CITIES SERVICE BUILDING, 70 Pine Street (Aka 66-76 Pine Street, 2-18 Cedar Street, 171-185 Pearl Street), Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission June 21, 2011; Designation List 443 LP-2441 CITIES SERVICE BUILDING, 70 Pine Street (aka 66-76 Pine Street, 2-18 Cedar Street, 171-185 Pearl Street), Manhattan. Built 1930-32; Clinton & Russell, Holton & George, architects. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 41, Lot 1. On May 10, 2011, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Cities Service Building and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 1). The hearing was duly advertised according to provisions of law. Six people spoke in favor of designation, including representatives of the owners, Manhattan Community Board 1, the Historic Districts Council, and the New York Landmarks Conservancy. Summary The former Cities Service Building at 70 Pine Street is a 66-story skyscraper, rising from a trapezoidal site bounded by Pine Street, Cedar Street, and Pearl Street. An icon of the lower Manhattan skyline, the building’s shaft terminates in a slender pinnacle crowned by an illuminated lantern and stainless steel spire. At the time of completion in 1932, this Art Deco style tower was the tallest structure in lower Manhattan, and at 952 feet, the third tallest structure in the world. Commissioned by a major American corporation, it was an expression of the owner’s success, escalating real estate costs, and the current zoning code that required buildings to diminish in mass as they rise. The Cities Service Company was chartered by Henry L. Doherty in 1910, and quickly grew to become one of the largest corporations in the United States, controlling approximately 150 energy firms in 38 states, including numerous oil and power suppliers.

  • S. JARMULOWSKY BANK BUILDING, 54 Canal Street (Aka 54-58 Canal Street, 5-9 Orchard Street), Borough of Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission October 13, 2009, Designation List 419 LP-2363 S. JARMULOWSKY BANK BUILDING, 54 Canal Street (aka 54-58 Canal Street, 5-9 Orchard Street), Borough of Manhattan. Built 1911-12; Rouse & Goldstone, architects. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 294, Lot 8. On June 23, 2009, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation of the S. Jarmulowsky Bank Building (Item No. 17). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Five witnesses spoke in favor of the building’s designation, including a representative of Council Member Alan J. Gerson; Joyce Mendelsohn, author of The Lower East Side Remembered and Revisited; and representatives of the Bowery Alliance of Neighbors, the Historic Districts Council, and the Museum at Eldridge Street. Two representatives of the building’s owner also testified, stating that the owner had no objection to its designation. Summary Called “the first strictly high-class tall bank and office building” on the Lower East Side, with a design “equal in every respect [to] the highest grade banking buildings throughout the city,” the S. Jarmulowsky Bank Building was completed in 1912 as the architectural showpiece of one of the neighborhood’s most prominent bankers. Born in 1841 in what was then the Russian province of Lomza, its owner, Sender Jarmulowsky, established his business on the Lower East Side in 1873 and was operating at this location by 1878. Known for his honesty and conservative financial approach, Jarmulowsky grew wealthy over the following three decades providing steamship tickets and banking services to the immigrants of the surrounding neighborhood, which was unrivaled as the world’s largest Jewish community.

Hardenbergh. Extension 1908-10; architects, Clinton & Russell. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 15, Lot 7501, in part, consisting of the land on which 17 Battery Place (aka 1-17 West Street) is situated. On February 8, 2000, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Whitehall Building and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 2). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. A representative of the Historic Districts Council spoke in favor of designation. There were no speakers in opposition to designation. The Commission has received a letter in support of designation from the building's owners. Summary The twenty-story Whitehall Building, named for Peter Stuyvesant's seventeenth-century house that had been located nearby, was constructed in 1902-04 and designed by the preeminent tum-of­ the-century architect Henry J. Hardenbergh. This highly visible site at the southernmost tip of Manhattan, overlooking Battery Park, inspired the architect to create a building with bold design features and a dramatic color scheme. Built as a speculative office tower by the real estate and development firm of Robert A. and William H. Chesebrough, the building was an immediate success and the developers began plans to build an addition. They hired the prolific architectural firm of Clinton & Russell to design a thirty-one-story addition facing West Street, with a tower overlooking the original building.
