Consolidated Edison Building

The Consolidated Edison Building, a neoclassical skyscraper located in Manhattan's Gramercy neighborhood, serves as the headquarters for the energy company Consolidated Edison. Designed by renowned architectural firms Warren and Wetmore and Henry Janeway Hardenbergh, this 26-story landmark was constructed between 1911 and 1929 and is celebrated for its iconic 'Tower of Light.' The site has a rich history, previously housing Tammany Hall and the Academy of Music, and it spans a rectangular block near Union Square. Declared a New York City designated landmark in 2009, the building is a significant part of the local skyline and offers a glimpse into the architectural evolution of New York City.
