The Studebaker Building is a former structure at 1600 Broadway on the northeast corner[1] at 48th Street in Manhattan, New York City.[2] It was erected by the Juilliard Estate,[3] in 1902, between Broadway and 7th Avenue, in the area north of Times Square.[4] It was demolished in 2004 to make room for an apartment tower,[5] a twenty- five story, 136 unit, luxury condominium designed by architect Einhorn Yaffee Prescott.[6]
The Studebaker Building was ten stories high and occupied the entire block front between Broadway and 7th, facing Broadway for 113 feet (34 m).[2] It was built from the Juilliard estate,[3] "seeking a thoroughly safe income upon what was doubtless a very modest appraisal of the property's value."[4] The structure covered the southern end of the block at Broadway and 49th Street.[7] It was fireproof and fronted 48th Street for 104 feet (32 m).[8]
