Adams Express Building is an office building owned by RXR Realty and located at 61 Broadway in lower Manhattan, New York City. Architect Francis Kimball designed the 32-story building, and construction began in 1912 on the property numbers 57-61 Broadway, with numbers 33-41 Trinity Place. Cost was estimated in 1912 at $2,000,000.〔(Office for Metropolitan History, "Manhattan NB Database 1900-1986," ) (7 Feb 2010)〕 Upon completion in 1914, the building was the seventh tallest structure in Manhattan. Construction required 3,300 tons of steel and over a million square feet of terracotta. ''The New York Times'' described the architectural style as "Florentine" below the fifth floor, and "severely simple" above. Another critic called the style "utterly utilitarian,"〔 but the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission identified the architecture as palazzo.〔 == Context ==
The Adams Express Company occupied part of the Pinkerton Building at 57-59 Broadway. A 1904 fire that began in the basement of the Morris Building at 63 Broadway damaged the Pinkerton and other buildings in the block. Twenty-four engines and six hook and ladder companies responded. The Fire Department of New York recorded that the Adams Express Company building was destroyed, but Adams Express continued to occupy the site. By 1906 Adams Express was planning a new, fireproof building to be constructed on the site of the Pinkerton Building.
