The American Radiator Building is a 338 ft , 23-story early skyscraper at 40 West 40th Street in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. It was conceived by the architects John Howells and Raymond Hood, and built in 1924 for the American Radiator Company, five years before it merged with Standard Sanitary Manufacturing Company to form American Radiator and Standard Sanitary Corporation, later known as American Standard. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The building's form is based on Eliel Saarinen's unbuilt competition entry for the Tribune Tower, augmented with a strong use of color. The architects combined Gothic and modern styles in the design of the building. Black brick on the frontage of the building was selected to give an idea of solidity and to give the building a solid mass. Other parts of the facade were covered in gold bricks , and the entry was decorated with marble and black mirrors. Howells and Hood employed the talents of their frequent collaborator Rene Paul Chambellan for the ornamentation and sculptures.
