The building in 1920

52 Broadway, formerly known as the Exchange Court Building or Chemical Bank Building is a high-rise building on Broadway in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, New York City. The building was originally built with 12 floors in 1898 by Clinton & Russell, architects, but it was rebuilt and restored in 1980-1982 by Emery Roth & Sons. It is now 67.45 metres (221.3 ft) high with 20 floors.[1] The naval architectural firm Gielow & Orr had their headquarters at the building in the early 20th century.[2] The United Federation of Teachers currently has its headquarters in the building.[3]
