About Rockefeller Center
The Rockefeller Center is a complex of 19 commercial buildings covering 22 acres between 48th and 51st streets in Midtown Manhattan. Built between 1930 and 1939, it’s a masterpiece of Art Deco design. It’s not just a hub for NBC, but a microcosm of city life with a plethora of retail shops, restaurants, and art installations. The center is also known for its expansive underground concourse, its ice-skating rink, and its annual lighting of the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree.
A self-financed Project: The Rockefeller Center stands as a testament to vision and financial prowess. Despite the economic downturn during the Great Depression, he personally financed the project, turning it into a symbol of resilience and determination.
A hub of art and culture: The center is a hub of art and culture, housing over 100 sculptures and mosaics created by 39 different artists. The renowned statue of Atlas and the prominent friezes on the site were the work of Lee Lawrie, who has the most number of pieces in the center.
From botanical garden to iconic landmark: The land that the Rockefeller Center occupies today was once a botanical garden. David Hosack, a local physician, bought the land from the city of New York in 1801 for $4,800 and transformed it into a garden. This piece of rural land has since evolved into an iconic landmark in the heart of New York City.
National historic landmark: The Rockefeller Center has been recognized for its historical significance and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1987. This recognition underscores the center’s importance in the architectural and cultural landscape of New York City.
Two small buildings: When the Rockefeller Center was being constructed, the occupants of two small buildings on the site refused to vacate. As a result, 30 Rock was built around them, and these buildings still exist today.
