140 West Street, NYC
Lampworks is proud to have made the exterior Deco light
fixtures for the landmark skyscraper, 140 West Street, formerly known as the
Barclay-Vesey Building, designed to house New York Telephone’s Headquarters.
Completed
in 1927 with room for 6,000 employees, its lobby has 22-foot-high ceilings and
features murals depicting the history of communication. The NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission said
the building was a "pivotal structure in the history of skyscraper
architecture."
The new entrance is at 100 Barclay Street. Lampworks’ wall lights illuminate three sides,
and twelve hanging lanterns will be installed along the Guastavino-vaulted
pedestrian arcade across from the Freedom Tower, to illuminate luxury
retail shops
