The
New York Evening Post is a 13-story limestone faced building designed by
Robert D.Kohn between 1906 and 1907. The Post building is an example of
Vienna Secession, a 20th century European artistic refrom movement.
Another interesting aspect of the New York Evening Post Building is Gutzon
Borglum, who sculpted Mount Rushmore, helped create the sturctures in the

The New York Evening Post building was intended to house New York Evening offices and printing facilities. Source: Guide to New York City Landmarks2nd ed. |
