The location enables easy access. One Times Square, the original New York Times Headquarters, makes use of a tiny plot of land. With access to the subway from the basement, the trains were used for rapid distribution of papers.
History of One Times Square
One Times Square was built as a sign of growth and achievement of The New York Times, a building that would provide great opportunity. Built by son of the first American Jewish Architect, Cyrus LW Eidlitz, the building served as a transporter of information as papers were created and printed within and distributed underground. However, not holding up to The Times needs, they left premises. Still serving as a transporter of information as billboard signs flash on the façade, the interior of One Times Square is left abandoned and hidden to the public. Left standing to preserve a ‘sense of place,’ One Times Square has a rich history and has had a significant and often unbeknownst impact on New York City.
