One Times Square, also known as the New York Times Building, is/was a 395ft (120m) tall skyscraper in New York City (the flagpole, while not counted towards the building's total height, reach a final height of roughly 460ft (140m). Designed by Cyrus L.W. Eidlitz, the building finished construction in 1904. It originally housed the headquarters of the New York Times, the world-famous newspaper that soon became the namesake for Times Square (Renamed from Longacre Square). Built on an wedge shaped, narrow lot at the intersection of Broadway, 7th Ave, and 42nd St, the building gained immediate notoriety, not dissimilar from the Flatiron Building, built just 2 years earlier a mile South. While this building technically still stands today, it is unrecognizable from its original form. In the 1960s, the building underwent a major renovation that entirely stripped the building of its Renaissance-Revival facade and replaced it with a modern design. During this period, the building was also renamed to the Allied Chemical Building. Later, in the 1990s, the tower was covered in electronic billboards that now blanket Times Square in a dizzying array of color and light. Every year, One Times Square momentarily receives the world's attention as New York's annual New Year's Ball Drop occurs at the top of the building's flagpole.
This model aims to recreate the New York Times Building/One Times Square as it was originally designed and constructed.
