| Description |
6 Times Square, also known as the Newsweek Building or Knickerbocker Building, is a building located at 1466 Broadway at the southeast corner of 42nd Street in New York City. This historic building opened in 1906 as the Knickerbocker Hotel, "Knickerbocker" being an iconic name for New York. Built by John Jacob Astor IV as a showcase of luxury in a time of economic prosperity in the city, the hotel was destined to close its doors only 15 years later due to changes in fortune. The building was later home to Newsweek magazine between 1940 – 1959, and after major restoration in 1980 the building is now used for garment showrooms and offices. Developers J.E. and A.L. Pennock originally designed the building and financed the early construction of the hotel starting in 1903. One year later, the investment group that sponsored the developers fell apart and John Jacob Astor, who owned the land, took over the project. The rooms were redesigned by architects Trowbridge & Livingston and a luxurious, three-story restaurant and bar was added, with seating for 2000 for after-theater dinner. Artist Maxfield Parrish was commissioned for the 30-foot-long painting entitled Old King Cole which now hangs in The St. Regis Hotel. Frederic Remington, Frederick MacMonnies and James Wall Finn also added decorations to the interiors. The Knickerbocker opened in 1906 and quickly became a part of the New York social scene <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6_Times_Square" rel="nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6_Times_Square</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_Attribution-ShareAlike_3.0_Unported_License" rel="nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_...</a> |
