Tiffany & Co

The Tiffany & Company Building is a building on the corner of Fifth Avenue and East 57th Street in Midtown Manhattan . The building serves as the head office of Tiffany & Co. as well as its flagship store. The building opened on 21 October 1940 and was later increased by four floors. From the opening to the present, the building is only owned by Tiffany & Co. been.

The building has three entrances, two of which are on East 57th Street and one on Fifth Avenue. The two main entrances have stainless steel doors and above the entrance to Fifth Avenue there is a three meter high image of Atlas , holding a working clock over his head. The statue was made by Henry Frederick Metzler , a friend of Charles Tiffany, and consists of wood painted in bronze. The sculpture hung on the façade of several other Tiffany & Co. offices since 1853. The ground floor of the Tiffany & Company Building contains a lot of wood and on this floor a 128-carat diamond is also on display.

Before the building stood there was a large stone house that was owned by CP Huntington.
