Fuller Building, 41 East 57th Street, ca. 1995. The Fuller Building, constructed in 1929 for the Fuller Construction Company, which had previously been based in the Flatiron Building. The New York Times dubbed the 40-story Art Deco skyscraper a “jazz-age testament to the emerging commercial chic of 57th street.” Designed by the architectural firm Walker & Gillette, the building features rich bronze, marble, and mosaic details, as well as abstract sculptures by Elie Nadelman on both its interior and exterior.

Fuller Building ARCHITECT: Walker & Gillette DATE: 1928-29 STYLE: Art Deco The first floor of the Fuller Building is an elegant Art Deco public space. The Fuller Building was built to be the headquarters of one of the largest and most important construction firms in America, the George A. Fuller Company. The interior’s stylized classical motifs joined to modernistic geometric patterns continue the Art Deco design of the building’s exterior. The design is elegantly executed in bronze and marble, and it includes depictions of the Fuller Company’s major works and images of the construction trades, promoting the Fuller Company’s premier role in the industry.
