Info
The L.P. Hollander Company Building is located at 3 East 57th Street (Manhattan), New York City. The edifice received the 1930 gold medal of the Fifth Avenue (Manhattan) Association for the best structure built in the Fifth Avenue district during the year. The L.P. Hollander Company Building was erected prior to the Empire State Building and 500 Fifth Avenue, which were judged for the year 1931. The Empire State Building and the Lilly Dache Building were designed by William F. Lamb of Shreve, Lamb & Harmon, architects, who was responsible for planning the L.P. Hollander Building. The Hollander Building was built by Starrett Brothers & Eken.The structure began as a shop for women. This is reflected in its delicate and rich design, which features femine motifs. It adjoined the site of an edifice occupied by the New York Trust Company, at the corner of Fifth Avenue, which had also recently been completed. A structure known as the old Hollander Building stood at 550 - 552 Fifth Avenue at this time. Its name was changed to the Weber & Heilbroner Building in August 1934.
