L.P. Hollander Company Building
The L.P. Hollander Company Building is located at 3 East 57th Street (Manhattan), New York City. The edifice received the 1930 gold medal of the Fifth Avenue (Manhattan) Association for the ''best structure'' built in the Fifth Avenue district during the year. The L.P. Hollander Company Building was erected prior to the Empire State Building and 500 Fifth Avenue, which were judged for the year 1931.〔 The Empire State Building and the Lilly Dache Building were designed by William F. Lamb of Shreve, Lamb & Harmon, architects, who was responsible for planning the L.P. Hollander Building.〔''Academy Of Design Adds 25 To Roles'', New York Times, April 18, 1942, pg. 10.〕〔 The Hollander Building was built by Starrett Brothers & Eken.〔
The structure was initially a shop for women. This is reflected in its ''delicate and rich'' design, which features femine motifs. It adjoined the site of an edifice occupied by the New York Trust Company, at the corner of Fifth Avenue, which had also recently been completed.〔''Big Building Sold On 57th Street'', New York Times, April 8, 1931, pg. 42.〕 A structure known as the old Hollander Building stood at 550 ''-'' 552 Fifth Avenue at this time.〔''Real Estate Notes'', New York Times, October 16, 1931, pg. 45.〕 Its name was changed to the Weber & Heilbroner Building in August 1934.〔''Men's Clothiers Lease Large Fifth Av. Space'', New York Times, August 28, 1934, pg. 39.〕
==Architectural design==
The Hollander building is situated on a plot of land formerly occupied by the Stuyvesant home, a private residence in the 57th Street district.〔 In 1939, the property was owned by Augustus Van Horne Stuyvesant Jr. and the estate of Anne W. Stuyvesant.〔''Lessee To Alter 57th Street Building'', New York Times, December 19, 1939, pg. 44.〕
The structure is composed of two stories of rich metal work in silver, a shaft made of a series of vertical lines composed of stone, and an upper panel framed horizontally, yet carrying the vertical motifs of the shaft. The whole, along with its various portions, are framed in black granite. The edifice possessed a gray, silver, and black color scheme. The silver hue is made up of aluminum metal parts, gray of the limestone mullions, and black of the granite frame. Two small side doors, one for service and another which acted as a fire exit, are utilized as flanking motifs for a primary show window. The doors are plates pierced for light, grilles in reverse. Window backgrounds of the Hollander building are the work of Jock D. Peters, in collaboration with Eleanor Lemaire.〔''Hollander Building Wins 5th Av. Award'', New York Times, March 8, 1931, pg. 156.〕
