The General Electric Building – 570 Lexington Avenue at East 51st Street, New York, New York
Designed by the renowned architectural firm of Cross & Cross, this 1929-1931 art deco building is one of the most expressive skyscrapers of its era. It was constructed as the headquarters for the RCA corporation but was deeded to the General Electric company prior to its completion. The octagonal brick-clad tower rises 50 stories from a rounded corner. Complex multi-colored brickwork and terra cotta, carved red marble detail, and nickel-silver ornamentation are especially noteworthy. The stylized figures at the tower’s crown are an allegory of "wireless communications."
