Walking west along 45th Street toward Broadway I passed the Fred F. French Building. This is a 38 story skyscraper on the northeast corner of 45th Street and 5th Avenue. It was erected in 1927 with a striking Art Deco facade. It is used primarily as an office building and also houses classrooms of Pace University. Mr. French was a real estate developer. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Buildings in 2004.
