Bush Tower

Bush Tower, also called the Bush Terminal International Exhibit Building and formerly as the Bush Terminal Sales Building, is a historic 30-story, 433-foot-tall (132 m) skyscraper located in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, just east of Times Square. The building occupies a plot at 130-132 West 42nd Street between Broadway and Sixth Avenue. It was built in 1916–1918 for Irving T. Bush's Bush Terminal Company, which operated Bush Terminal in the Sunset Park neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City.
Bush Tower was originally intended as a commercial display space and social space. Its notable design combined narrowness, height, and Neo-Gothic architecture. In addition, it played a large role in the evolution of Times Square and of New York skyscrapers after the 1916 Zoning Resolution.
