This article is about another skyscraper in New York City. This time, it's the headquarters of the media conglomerate Hearst Communications, which has occupied the site for nearly a century. The tower is unusual both for its shape, readily recognizable by the large triangles on its facade, which double as its structural system. It is also unusual because the lowest part of the building was built 80 years before the tower itself, in anticipation of a high-rise development above it.

This page became a Good Article three years ago after a Good Article review by A person in Georgia, for which I am very grateful. After a recent copyedit by Miniapolis, which I also appreciate, I think the page is up to FA quality. I look forward to all comments and feedback. Epicgenius (talk) 13:45, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

Lede

• Recommend linking facade.
• Hearst Magazine Building developer William Randolph Hearst had acquired the site for a theater in the belief that the area would become the city's next large entertainment district, but changed his plans to construct a magazine headquarters there. remove "had". Also do we have the date?

Site

• Seventh Avenue should be linked.

More soon
