This 1912, 18-story neo-Renaissance style manufacturing/office building was designed by architect Maynicke & Franke for Henry Corn. The building was home to recording studios that launched the careers of enormously important jazz and blues musicians and to the publisher of Betty Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique as well as many other important texts. The building replaced James Lenox’s mansion, which became home to the Lenox Library and the Juilliard School.
