history
At the turn of the century, Park Row was known as Newspaper Row, and many newspapers and publishers had offices on the street, including the New York Times . The building was designed by architects George B. Post, Maynicke & Franke and built from 1888 to 1889. Around 1903, the building was increased by a few floors to keep up with the growing neighbors. It is located west of what is now the Park Place Tower and north of the Potter Building . The neo-Romanesque building is now owned by Pace University .
Until 2007, 41 Park Row was the headquarters of the New York Times. Then the newspaper moved to the much taller, newly built New York Times Tower in Midtown Manhattan .
