New York/McGraw-Hill Building
McGraw-Hill Building
One of he great art deco buildings in New York, designed by Raymond Hood. The lobby has retro-modern fluorescent lighting fixtures. Not very pleasant light, but very cool in a Jetson's sort of way. The building is reasonably maintained, but not in the manner of Rockefeller Center or other top Manhattan office towers. It's rather intense on 42nd next to the Port Authority bus terminal and Times Square, but the area is quite cleaned up nowadays. The Port Authority has plans for a tower above the bus terminal, which will very likely overwhelm the McGraw-Hill. The photo shows one of the display cases in the lobby.
