Bayard–Condict Building
The Bayard–Condict Building at 65 Bleecker Street between Broadway and Lafayette Street, at the head of Crosby Street in the NoHo neighbourhood of Manhattan, New York City is the only work of architect Louis Sullivan in New York City. It was built between 1897 and 1899 in the Chicago School style; the associate architect was Lyndon P. Smith. The building was originally known as the Condict Building before being renamed the Bayard Building.〔, p.159〕 The building was considered to be a radical design for its time, since it contravened the strictures of American Renaissance architecture which were the accepted ''status quo'', but had little influence on architectural design in New York City, because of its location in the industrial area that Bleecker Street was during that period.〔 It is located in the NoHo Historic District.
The building was designated a New York City landmark in 1975,〔, p.60〕 and has been a National Historic Landmark since 1976.,〔〔National Park Service(National Historic Landmark Survey, New York ); retrieved June 6, 2007.〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination, Bayard–Condict Building - Accompanying 4 photos, exterior, from 1970 )〕
==Design==
This commercial office building is clad in white terra cotta over a masonry wall. The Bayard Building was one of the first steel skeleton frame skyscrapers in New York City and the Department of Buildings raised numerous objections to the design before the plans were finally accepted. It is one of the first examples of the Chicago school style of architecture in New York City.
The division of the building into three sections – an ornamented base, a shaft of identical stacked floors, and a decorated crown – illustrates Sullivan's views on skyscraper design.〔 At 13 stories and 162 feet (49 meters) high, the building does not attempt to disguise its height, but rather accentuates it by leaving relatively undecorated mullions and pilasters. Sullivan's signature ornate floral designs decorate the base and top of the facade, and across the spandrels below the window openings. Figural sculptures of angels were added at the request of the client, Silas Alden Condict, over Sullivan's objections.〔
