Abstract
THE FIRST large office building constructed in New York after the Depression. 100 Park Avenue is astylar in a way that the prewar modernists did not imagine. The squat, unlovely building is almost without style, little more than the product of the office space contained within in conformance with the zoning code on the outside, but it is an important forerunner of the postwar skyscraper.
