40 Wall Street is a 927-foot-tall (283 m) neo-Gothic skyscraper in the Financial District of Manhattan in New York City. Erected in 1929–1930 as the headquarters of the Manhattan Company, the building was designed by H. Craig Severance with Yasuo Matsui and Shreve & Lamb. It has a facade of limestone, with buff-colored brick and setbacks on the upper stories. Plans for 40 Wall Street were revealed in April 1929, and the structure was opened on May 26, 1930. 40 Wall Street and the Chrysler Building competed for the distinction of world's tallest building at the time of both buildings' construction; the Chrysler Building ultimately won that title. Ownership of the building and the land underneath it, as well as the leasehold on the building, has changed several times throughout its history. The building has been owned by two German companies since 1982, and a company controlled by developer and later U.S. president Donald Trump bought the lease in 1995. (Full article...)
