The American Tract Society Building was one of the earliest skyscrapers in New York City, completed in 1895. It was designed in the Romanesque style by architect R.H. Robertson and featured a granite base that took inspiration from Florentine palaces. At 23 stories and 291 feet tall, it was a pioneering tall building but still organized the design horizontally rather than emphasizing its verticality like later skyscrapers would. The building housed the American Tract Society, a Protestant organization that published Bibles, and decorative elements featuring religious motifs adorned the exterior.
