Summary[edit]

Description

1501 Broadway, also known as the Paramount Building, is a 33-story, 131.5 m (431 ft) office building located between West 43rd and 44th Streets in the Times Square neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. It once housed the Paramount Theatre.

The structure is currently the 360th tallest building in New York City. It was designated a New York City Landmark in 1988.

Today, the Paramount Building is known for its large four-faced clock near the top of the pyramidial architectural feature, with the hours denoted by five-pointed stars, topped by an ornamental glass globe. At the outset of World War II, the globe and clock were painted black to maintain blackout conditions for fear of an enemy invasion; they were restored in 1996.
