1929 - 230 Park Avenue, the NY Central Building, nearing completion.

Previously the area north of Grand Central was an open air rail yard. With the burying of the tracks underground, and most of the buildings today were built over the tracks, in a project known as Terminal City. 230 Park was the last major addition to the project.

It was renamed the New York General Building in 1958 and the Helmsley Building in 1978, though ownership was changed several times afterward. The building’s facade and lobby became New York City designated landmarks in 1987.

The Bishop’s Palace, also known as Gresham’s Castle, is an ornate 19,082 square feet (1,772.8 m2) Victorian-style house, located on Broadway and 14th Street in the East End Historic District of Galveston, Texas.

The Gresham mansion was made all of stone, and was sturdy enough to withstand the great hurricane of 1900. The Greshams welcomed hundreds of survivors of the hurricane into their home.

The house was built between 1887 and 1893 by Galveston architect Nicholas J. Clayton for lawyer and politician Walter Gresham, his wife Josephine, and their nine children.

1905 - The Postal Telegraph and Home Life Buildings- Broadway, at Murray Street.

256 Broadway was erected for the Home Life Insurance Company, while 253 Broadway was erected for the Postal Telegraph Company.

Both buildings were constructed simultaneously between 1892 and 1894. Although 256 Broadway was intended as a 12-story building, it was expanded to 16 stories mid-construction, making it one of the tallest buildings in the city when it was completed.

After the Home Life Company bought 253 Broadway in 1947, the two buildings were joined internally to form a single structure, and became collectively known as the Home Life Building.

The Home Life Company occupied the building until 1985. It was made a New York City designated landmark in 1991.
