History:
The building was built in 1928 to 1930, is 371 feet high and contains 24 stories. It was originally known as the Western Union Building, as it was the headquarters of Western Union and hence used for telegraph equipment. Like other previous telegraph hubs, it made it obvious for later data center use.
