One Grand Central Place, originally known as the Lincoln Building, is a 55-story neo-Gothic office tower completed in 1930 and designed by architect J.E.R. Carpenter. Standing 205 meters tall at 60 East 42nd Street in Midtown Manhattan, the building is strategically positioned between Madison Avenue and Park Avenue, with direct internal access to Grand Central Terminal. Its distinctive vertical lines and ornamental detailing exemplify the Gothic Revival aesthetic that characterized prestige office architecture of the early Depression era. The building's prominence in the Manhattan skyline is enhanced by its proximity to architectural landmarks including the Chrysler Building and MetLife Building, and it ranks as one of the city's most recognizable skyscrapers, currently among the 91st tallest in New York City.
