  • 195 Broadway, also known as the Telephone Building, Telegraph Building, or Western Union Building, is an early skyscraper on Broadway in the Financial District of Manhattan, New York City. It was the longtime headquarters of AT&T as well as Western Union. It occupies the entire western side of Broadway from Dey Street to Fulton Street. The site was formerly occupied by the Western Union Telegraph Building. The current 29-story, 422-foot-tall (129 m) building was commissioned after AT&T's 1909 acquisition of Western Union. It was constructed from 1912 to 1916 under the leadership of Theodore Newton Vail, to designs by William W. Bosworth, although one section was not completed until 1922. It was the site of one end of the first transcontinental telephone call, the first intercity Picturephone call, and the first transatlantic telephone call. Though AT&T's headquarters relocated to 550 Madison Avenue in 1984, 195 Broadway remains in use as an office building as of 2022. Bosworth's design was heavily Greek-influenced: though the facade is made of white Vermont granite, it features layers of gray granite columns in Doric and Ionic styles, as well as various Greek-inspired ornamentation. The northwestern corner of the building was designed similar to a campanile with a stepped roof, which formerly supported the Spirit of Communication statue. The Greek design carried into the large lobby, clad with marble walls and floors, and containing sculptural ornament by Paul Manship and Gaston Lachaise. The exterior and first-floor interior spaces were designated as city landmarks by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 2006. (en)
  • 195 Broadway, también conocido como Telephone Building, Telegraph Building o Western Union Building, es un edificio de 29 pisos en Broadway en el Distrito Financiero de Manhattan, Nueva York. Fue la antigua sede de AT&T y de Western Union. Ocupa todo el lado occidental de Broadway desde Dey Street hasta Fulton Street. El sitio fue ocupado anteriormente por el Western Union Telegraph Building. El rascacielos actual, encargado después de la adquisición de Western Union por AT&T en 1909, se construyó de 1912 a 1916 bajo el liderazgo de Theodore Newton Vail, según los diseños de , aunque una sección no se completó sino hasta 1922. Fue el sitio de una final de la primera llamada telefónica transcontinental, la primera llamada telefónica interurbana con imagen y la primera llamada telefónica transatlántica. Aunque la sede de AT&T se trasladó a 550 Madison Avenue en 1984, 195 Broadway sigue en uso como edificio de oficinas a partir de 2020. El diseño de Bosworth fue fuertemente influenciado por los griegos: aunque la fachada está hecha de granito blanco de Vermont, presenta capas de columnas de granito gris en estilos dórico y jónico, así como varias ornamentaciones de inspiración griega. La esquina noroeste del edificio fue diseñada de manera similar a un campanario con un techo escalonado, que anteriormente sostenía la estatua del Spirit of Communication. El diseño griego se trasladó al gran vestíbulo, revestido con paredes y pisos de mármol, y que tiene adornos escultóricos de Paul Manship y Gaston Lachaise. Los espacios exteriores e interiores del primer piso fueron designados como hitos de la ciudad por la Comisión para la Preservación de Monumentos Históricos de Nueva York en 2006. (es)
