The Seagram Building is a skyscraper at 375 Park Avenue, between 52nd and 53rd Streets, in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. The building, designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, in collaboration with the American firm of Philip Johnson, was completed in 1958. The building is 517 feet (158 m) tall, with 38 stories. It was the first skyscraper to feature a uniform façade of bronze-tinted glass and steel. The Seagram Building is widely regarded as one of the most important examples of modernist architecture and is a designated New York City Landmark, a National Historic Landmark, and one of the largest and most prestigious office buildings of its time.
