1 Wall Street is an Art Deco skyscraper in Lower Manhattan, New York City. Not to be confused with 1 Wall Street Court, it was built in 1931 and opened in 1932. It was originally known as the Irving Trust Company Building. In 1988 it was renamed the Bank of New York Building, and after 2007 the BNY Mellon Building. The skyscraper occupies a prominent corner between Wall Street and Broad way.
1 Wall Street has 50 stories and is 654 ft (199 m) tall. It was designed by the architectural firm of Voorhees, Gmelin & Walker. The building offers 1,165,659 sq ft of rentable space and is reknown for its spectacular mosaic lobby. In 1965, a 36-floor addition to the site was constructed to the south of the tower to provide extra office space.
The building has a steel skeleton, and is covered in limestone. The building has had numerous problems with the limestone exterior and in 2001, the building's owners decided to bring in Hoffman Architects to conduct a survey of the exterior and provide a 5 year masterplan which consists of mortar repair and window replacements.
