This was the first modernistic free-standing skyscraper designed by Raymond Hood. Built in 1929-30, the vertical »soaring« quality of the exterior marks one of the high points of skyscraper design that was to change radically after the Great Depression. It was commissioned by Captain Joseph Patterson, the founder of the tabloid DAILY NEWS, which long had the largest circuation of any daily newspaper in America.
