Designed by Carrère and Hastings and completed in 1912, 5 Columbus Circle is a 286-foot Beaux-Arts office building occupying the southeast corner of Broadway and 58th Street in Midtown Manhattan. Originally constructed as headquarters for the United States Rubber Company, the structure exemplifies early twentieth-century commercial architecture with its elegant marble facade, copper cornice, and carefully composed window treatment—recessed bays separated by metal spandrels and vertical piers. The building's twenty stories once anchored Broadway's "Automobile Row" before U.S. Rubber relocated in 1940. After changing hands several times through various financial institutions, the building received renovations following its 1985 acquisition and was designated a New York City Landmark in 2000. Today its base houses a Nordstrom flagship store extending into adjacent properties.
