2 Columbus Circle

2 Columbus Circle is a notable nine-story building located in Midtown Manhattan, originally designed by Edward Durell Stone in the modernist style for A&P heir Huntington Hartford. The building has undergone significant transformations, most recently being redesigned by Brad Cloepfil for the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD), which has occupied it since 2008. Its unique architecture features a blend of reinforced concrete and terracotta panels, making it a subject of architectural interest. The site is strategically positioned near Central Park and is easily accessible via the 59th Street–Columbus Circle subway station, making it a convenient stop for tourists and researchers alike.
