New York Times Building at Times Square

The Times Building (today One Times Square) is a 25-story skyscraper located on the city block bounded by Broadway, 7th Avenue, West 42nd Street and West 43rd Street. It was built in 1904, when the old Long Acre Square was renamed Times Square. The works on the New York Subway was underway that year and the local station became Times Station.

The New York Times was founded in 1851. The first New York Times Building was erected at 41 Park Row, completed in 1858. The design of the new building in Midtown Manhattan was presented in June, 1903, being 16 stories high, with a six-story tower. It was designed in neo-Gothic style by Cyrus L. W. Eidlitz and Andrew C. McKenzie. In January 1905, the New York Times moved to this new building at Times Square.
