1 Wall Street is an Art Deco skyscraper in Lower Manhattan, New York City. Not to be confused with 1 Wall Street Court, it was built in 1931 and opened in 1932. It was originally known as the Irving Trust Company Building. In 1988 it was renamed the Bank of New York Building, and after 2007 the BNY Mellon Building. The skyscraper occupies a prominent corner between Wall Street and Broad way.

1 Wall Street has 50 stories and is 654 ft (199 m) tall. It was designed by the architectural firm of Voorhees, Gmelin & Walker. The building offers 1,165,659 sq ft of rentable space and is reknown for its spectacular mosaic lobby. In 1965, a 36-floor addition to the site was constructed to the south of the tower to provide extra office space.

The building has a steel skeleton, and is covered in limestone. The building has had numerous problems with the limestone exterior and in 2001, the building's owners decided to bring in Hoffman Architects to conduct a survey of the exterior and provide a 5 year masterplan which consists of mortar repair and window replacements.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
