60 Wall Street is a 55-story, 745-foot postmodern skyscraper designed by Kevin Roche of Roche-Dinkeloo and originally built for J.P. Morgan & Co. Its design deliberately fit its Financial District surroundings, blending postmodern, Greek Revival, and neoclassical references rather than a purely modernist glass tower.
the building
Arcaded base, glass tower. The four-story base is designed with columns resembling architectural arcades, while the upper stories are faced in glass and stone, with the top eight stories below the hip roof detailed with column-like corners.
The public atrium. The ground floor holds an enclosed public atrium connecting entrances at Wall and Pine Streets, planted and linked to a subway entrance, with trading floors on the second through fourth floors originally serving J.P. Morgan & Co.
the style
Kevin Roche designed 60 Wall Street in a postmodern idiom that consciously borrows Greek Revival and neoclassical detailing to root the 1989 tower in its historic Wall Street setting.
