Typical Office Floor
The lower floors of the building were arranged in a U-shape. This increased the number of offices that had windows and thus access to natural light, an important consideration for potential tenants.
One of the building's original tenants was the American Steel Export Company. These images of their offices, taken in 1917, show what typical executive office spaces in the building would have looked like.
This detail shows the design of the elevator doors for all of the stories above the third floor. Like the building's exterior, the elevator doors were designed in an ornate Gothic style. The style was used for all floors--not just the lobby--and was executed in cast iron. Originally, the iron was gilded; today, the gold gilt is covered with paint, as shown in this modern image of elevator doors on an upper floor.
