The Con Edison Headquarters is the main office of Consolidated Edison, the biggest investor-owned energy company in the United States. Its headquarters building was built at E 14th Street in Manhattan, New York City, in 1911, and it became a local landmark.
The address of Con Edison Headquarters is 4 Irving Place. It occupies a whole city block between East 14th and 15th Streets, and between Irving Place and Third Avenue. The site was occupied by its predecessors, the Manhattan Gas Light Company in 1854, and when it was completed, was originally called the Consolidated Gas Company.
The Con Edison Headquarters was designed by Henry Hardenbergh, who also designed The Plaza Hotel and The Dakota. The 26-storey building was constructed by the same firm that built the Grand Central Terminal.
In keeping with its position as an energy company, the Con Edison Headquarters is lit up at night, making it a spectacular landmark.

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
