Information About

Hobart Building




The Hobart Building is an s (285  Feet ) high.

Reputed to be the favorite commercial building of its designer, Willis Polk , its sculpted Terra Cotta exterior with Baroque ornamentation, and handcrafted Brass and Italian Marble interior are a noted example of Neoclassicist Architecture . Its unusual shape was dictated by the site, which was an Assymetric Polygon , and since a neighboring structure was torn down, exposing one flank, it is now even more idiosyncratic and striking.
