The '''Daily News Building''', also known as '''The News Building''', is a [[skyscraper]] at 220 [[42nd Street (Manhattan)|East 42nd Street]] in the [[Turtle Bay, Manhattan|Turtle Bay]] neighborhood of [[Midtown Manhattan]] in [[New York City]]. The original building was designed by architects [[Raymond Hood]] and [[John Mead Howells]] in the [[Art Deco architecture|Art Deco]] style, and was erected between 1928 and 1930. A later addition was designed by [[Harrison & Abramovitz]] and built between 1957 and 1960.

The Daily News Building consists of a 36-story tower that is {{convert|476|ft|m|abbr=}} tall, as well as two shorter additions extending east to [[Second Avenue (Manhattan)|Second Avenue]]. Its architectural features include a large granite entrance at 42nd Street and a [[rotunda (architecture)|rotunda]] lobby with a rotating globe. The original structure is an L-shaped building that faces 41st Street to the south, Second Avenue to the east, and 42nd Street to the north, with a longer frontage on 41st Street than on 42nd Street. The annex, along 42nd Street and Second Avenue, gives the present building a rectangular lot.

The Daily News Building was commissioned by [[Joseph Medill Patterson]], the founder of the ''[[New York Daily News]]''. The design incorporates a layered [[massing]] that contains several [[Setback (architecture)|setbacks]] at higher floors. It was Hood's first modern freestanding tower and one of the first large [[Art Deco]] buildings in New York City. The Daily News Building was occupied by the ''Daily News'' until 1995, after which it was converted to office use. Upon its completion, the Daily News Building received mixed reviews, and many observers described the building as having a utilitarian design. The Daily News Building was made a [[National Historic Landmark]] in 1978. It was designated a [[New York City Landmark]] in 1981 and its interior was similarly designated in 1998.

== Architecture ==
The Daily News Building was designed in the [[Art Deco architecture|Art Deco]] style by architects [[Raymond Hood]] and [[John Mead Howells]], and was commissioned as the headquarters of the ''[[New York Daily News]]'', which at the time was owned by [[Joseph Medill Patterson]]. It was among the first skyscrapers to be built without an ornamental crown. This was in contrast to Hood's earlier designs for the [[Tribune Tower]] in [[Chicago]] and the [[American Radiator Building]] in Manhattan.<ref name="NYCL 1981_6-1998_4">{{harvnb|Landmarks Preservation Commission|1981|p=6}}; {{harvnb|Landmarks Preservation Commission|1998|ps=.|p=4}}</ref> [[Harrison & Abramovitz]] designed additions to the building, which were constructed between 1957 and 1960.<ref name="NPS p. 6">{{harvnb|National Park Service|1989|ps=.|p=6}}</ref><ref name="Stern (1995) p. 456">{{harvnb|Stern|Mellins|Fishman|1995|ps=.|p=456}}</ref> According to [[Emporis]], the building is {{convert|476.02|ft}} tall and has 36 floors.<ref name="Emporis">{{Cite web|title=Daily News Building|url=https://www.emporis.com/buildings/115394/daily-news-building-new-york-city-ny-usa|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210410145905/https://www.emporis.com/buildings/115394/daily-news-building-new-york-city-ny-usa|url-status=dead|archive-date=April 10, 2021|access-date=January 1, 2021|publisher=Emporis}}</ref>

Hood designed the building with practical needs in mind, saying that "I do not feel that The News Building is worse looking than some other buildings".<ref name="NYCL (1981) pp. 7-8">{{harvnb|Landmarks Preservation Commission|1981|ps=.|pp=7–8}}</ref><ref name="AF p. 531">{{harvnb|Architectural Forum|1930|ps=.|p=531 (PDF p. 7)}}</ref> Hood wrote that both the owner and architect had agreed that "the most simple and direct way to get an effective exterior" was to colorize its features.<ref name="NYCL 1981_6-1998_4" /><ref>{{harvnb|Architectural Forum|1930|ps=.|pp=531–532 (PDF pp. 7–8)}}</ref>

==== Tower ====
[[File:NY Daily News door jeh.JPG|thumb|left|Main entrance in 2008]]
The facade of the tower is composed of vertical window bays that are separated by "irregularly placed" sections of white brick wall, as well as multicolored brick patterns and red curtains.<ref name="NYCL 1981_6-1998_4" /><ref name="Stern (1987) p. 578" /> The [[spandrel]] panels between the windows on each story are made of reddish-brown and black brick, laid in a contrasting pattern.<ref name="Stern (1987) p. 578" /><ref name="NPS p. 2" /><ref name="NYCL (1981) p. 11" /><ref name="Robins p. 78">{{harvnb|Robins|2017|p=78|ps=.}}</ref> The spandrel panels at lower floors contain geometric patterns, while those on upper floors have been simplified into horizontal bars.

At the base of the tower, on the 42nd Street side, is a three-story-tall granite-clad main entrance that takes up the width of five bays. Over the entrance is a carving of the phrase "The News", below which is a large [[bas-relief]] with carvings of people and the phrase "He Made So Many of Them", all in capital letters.<ref name="NYCL (1981) p. 11" /><ref name="Jordy1986" /><ref name="NPS p. 5" /> The latter quotation was attributed to [[Abraham Lincoln]] and referenced the "common people" to whom the ''Daily News'' was intended.<ref name="Robins p. 78" /><ref name="NYCL (1981) p. 15">{{harvnb|Landmarks Preservation Commission|1981|ps=.|p=15}}</ref>{{efn|According to Hood's assistant and biographer Walter Kilham, this was likely a misquote.<ref name="Stern (1987) p. 578" /><ref name="Kilham p. 22"/>}} The figure atop the word "He" may be a representation of Lincoln.<ref name="Robins p. 78" /> There are glass pylons on either side of the entrance, which are topped by bronze ornamentation and contain horizontal bronze strips. There are smaller entrances leading to storefronts on either side of the main entrance. Above these storefronts are bronze friezes, which are overlaid at specific intervals by the bottom portions of the white brick walls that are present on the upper stories. The bronze friezes and white brick walls wrap around the building above the first story.<ref name="NYCL (1981) p. 11" /><ref name="NPS p. 5">{{harvnb|National Park Service|1989|ps=.|p=5}}</ref> A granite inscription from Patterson is present on the western side of the building, and the southern facade of the tower has five loading docks.<ref name="NPS p. 5" /><ref name="NYCL (1981) p. 12">{{harvnb|Landmarks Preservation Commission|1981|ps=.|p=12}}</ref> The entrance was relatively luxurious, since Hood was given a $150,000 budget for the entrance's design.<ref name="AF p. 532" /><ref name="Stern (1987) p. 578" />

At the top, the facade is designed so that it appears to have no architectural decorations. The parapet walls extend above the roof to conceal the elevator rooms and the maintenance penthouses on the roof.<ref name="AF p. 532" /><ref name="NYCL (1981) p. 10" /> Hood had initially been uncertain about how to design the top stories.<ref name="NPS p. 9">{{harvnb|National Park Service|1989|ps=.|p=9}}</ref> According to one account, architect [[Frank Lloyd Wright]] visited Hood and advised him to "just cut the top off".<ref name="NPS p. 9" /><ref name="Kilham p. 27" /><ref name="NYCL (1981) p. 14" /> Walter Kilham, who had assisted Hood, later recalled that Wright retracted his suggestion after Kilham confronted Wright.<ref name="Kilham p. 27" /><ref name="NYCL (1981) p. 14" />

==== Other portions ====
The facade of the original printing plant on 41st Street is similar to that of the tower, though the bays are grouped in sets of three. Each grouping is separated by wide white-brick piers, while the groupings of windows are internally subdivided by narrower piers. There are friezes above the first and second floors, as well as six loading docks on 41st Street.<ref name="NPS p. 6" /><ref name="NYCL (1981) p. 12" />

The annex's design echoes the vertical stripes of the original design, except with wider stripes.<ref name="aia" /><ref name="Stern (1995) p. 456" /><ref name="nycland" /> Like the original building, the window bays each contain one window per floor. The facade has light-and-dark-red brick spandrels between the windows on each floor. The piers between each bay are decorated by slightly-projecting white-brick piers with aluminum sheathing. The facade of the printing-plant addition is designed in the same manner.<ref name="NPS p. 6" /><ref name="NYCL (1981) p. 12" />

==== Lobby ====

[[File:Daily News Building Nov 2021 17.jpg|thumb|Seen from street level]]
The Medill family published numerous large newspapers in the United States in the early 20th century, including the [[Tribune Media]] conglomerate. One family member, Joseph Medill Patterson, founded the ''Daily News'' in 1919 as the United States' first daily [[Tabloid (newspaper format)|tabloid]].<ref name="NYCL 1981_1-2">{{harvnb|Landmarks Preservation Commission|1981|pp=1–2}}; {{harvnb|Landmarks Preservation Commission|1998|ps=.|p=2}}</ref><ref name="Block 1971">{{cite book|last=Block|first=Maxine|title=Current Biography 1942|publisher=H.W.

Other critics viewed the Daily News Building as architecturally lacking.
