The Time-Life Building, located at 1271 Avenue of the Americas (6th Avenue} in Rockefeller Center in New York is an historically important building opened in 1959 and designed by the Rockefeller family's architect Wallace Harrison, of Harrison, Abramovitz, and Harris.
The building was the first expansion of Rockefeller Center west of the Avenue of the Americas and is credited with launching the renaissance of this area, as well as to the redevelopment of Rockefeller Center itself.
It is a 48-story building, with green glass windows and column-free floors of 28,000 square feet. It was first occupied by Time Inc., the publisher of Time and Life magazines. CNN's American Morning was based there for several years.
