New York Hospital, 525 East Sixty-eighth Street, bounded by York Avenue, FDR Drive, New York, New York County, NY
Summary
Significance: Traditionally known as The New York Hospital, this is a major 1930s high-rise medical center complex. Dominated by a central 27 story tower, the assemblage of descending wings and pavilions gives the effect of a single structure. The clear functional organization of the adjoining buildings and the reflection of internal functions in the fenestration makes this complex an outstanding example of evolutionary modernist architecture.
Unprocessed Field note material exists for this structure: N411
