The eleven stories above it comprise an office block with a floor plan shaped like an irregular "H" aligned west–east. The lowest four stories comprise the base, which include the lobbies and the viaduct ramps. The eastern and western wings are each 15 stories tall, while a centrally positioned tower rises another 20 stories. The wings slightly resemble the "court of honor" designed by Reed and Stem, another collaborator in the Grand Central project. The design is influenced by that of the Manhattan Municipal Building, which spanned Chambers Street in Lower Manhattan, with side wings projecting to the west and east. The Helmsley Building was designed by Warren & Wetmore. The Helmsley Building was developed as part of the original " Terminal City" complex above Grand Central Terminal's rail yards. The Helmsley Building measures 200 feet (61 m) north-south and 344 feet (105 m) west-east. It is just north of Grand Central Terminal and the MetLife Building. The Helmsley Building straddles the ramps of the Park Avenue Viaduct in Midtown Manhattan, bounded by 45th Street to the south, Vanderbilt Avenue to the west, 46th Street to the north, and Depew Place to the east. The building and its lobby were designated as New York City Landmark spaces in 1987. It was renamed the New York General Building in 1958 and the Helmsley Building in 1978, though ownership was changed several times afterward. The New York Central Building was erected for the railroad between 19 as the last major structure to be built within Terminal City.
JL INTERIORS CONSTRUCTION SERIES
After the terminal was completed in 1913, the tracks were buried under a series of buildings that were constructed over the tracks as part of the Terminal City development. Flanking the viaduct's ramps are passageways connecting 45th and 46th streets, with entrances to Grand Central Terminal.īefore the construction of Grand Central Terminal, the area to the north of the predecessor Grand Central Depot was occupied by an open-air rail yard the tracks and depot were operated by the New York Central Railroad.
The lobby of the building is between the vehicular portals. The Helmsley Building carries vehicular traffic through its base: traffic exits and enters the Park Avenue Viaduct through two portals passing under the building. It was the tallest structure in the " Terminal City" complex around Grand Central prior to the completion of what is now the MetLife Building. It was built in 1929 as the New York Central Building and was designed by Warren & Wetmore in the Beaux-Arts style.
