The Haier Building:
Constructed: 1922–1925
Architect: York & Sawyer
NEW YORK—A rainy day brings surprises. Coming across The Haier Building in Midtown’s Garment District was one of them.
A set of imposing gold doors decorated with flower and vase motifs secure the back entrance, compelling visitors to venture to the front doors. An American flag hangs above a blue Haier flag, juxtaposed against the facade. Similarly, eight magnificent Roman columns above each doorway support eaves both in front and back.
The name, The Haier Building, is inscribed in gold letters that are visible even in the dark, or the rain, thanks to six lights shining down upon them.
