The New York Tribune Building was a building built by Richard Morris Hunt in 1875 in New York City. It was built as the headquarters of the New York Tribune, and was a brick and masonry structure topped by a Clock Tower. It was 260 feet (79 m) tall and was demolished in 1966.[2]
The Tribune Building was located at 154 Printing House Square on Nassau and Spruce streets,[3] next to the New York World Building, which was the headquarters for the New York World newspaper. The Tribune Building was one of the first high-rise elevator buildings.[1]
Originally a nine-story building, between 1903 and 1905, nine more floors were added by the architects D'Oench & Yost and L. Thouyard to make it an 18-story building.[4] The building has been put forward as a possible candidate as the first ever skyscraper.[5]
Pace University held its first classrooms in the building, renting out one room in 1906.
The building was demolished in 1966 to make room for the 1 Pace Plaza building.[6]
