Designed by Ralph Walker in 1930, The Western Union Building is one of the finest examples of an Art Deco Skyscraper and has been designated a Historic Landmark. The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission gave unanimous approval of the Master Plan for this telecommunications buildings' need to adapt to today’s and tomorrows needs.
The Master Plan calls for a new transmitting tower that enhances and announces the buildings use and design, a organized pattern/matrix of windows and mechanical louvers to be designed within the existing masonry openings that echoes its asymmetry, the restoration of the existing bronze storefronts, and along several of the storefronts a deco inspired interpretation of mechanical louvers.
