notes

The New York Evening Post is a 13-story limestone faced building designed by Robert D.Kohn between 1906 and 1907. The Post building is an example of Vienna Secession, a 20th century European artistic refrom movement. Another interesting aspect of the New York Evening Post Building is Gutzon Borglum, who sculpted Mount Rushmore, helped create the sturctures in the picture on the left.

The New York Evening Post building was intended to house New York Evening offices and printing facilities.
