context_page_description: The Graybar Building is a 30-story office building in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. It is located at 420–430 Lexington Avenue between 43rd and 44th Streets, adjacent to Grand Central Terminal.
  The Graybar Building was designed by Sloan & Robertson in the Art Deco style. The building was erected within "Terminal City", a collection of buildings located above Grand Central's underground tracks, and as such, occupies the real-estate air rights above these tracks. The Graybar Building's ground floor includes the "Graybar Passage", a publicly accessible passageway that leads from Lexington Avenue to Grand Central Terminal.
  When the building's construction started in 1925, it was known as the Eastern Terminal Office Building. The structure was renamed after Graybar, one of its original lessees, the next year. The Graybar Building opened in April 1927 and was fully leased within less than a year. Ownership of the building passed several times before the current owners, SL Green Realty, bought it in 1998. The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the Graybar Building as an official landmark in 2016.
