Fuller Building

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Fuller Building was also the original name of the Flatiron Building

The Fuller Building is a tower block in Manhattan at 41-45 East 57th Street. It was built for the Fuller Construction Company in 1929 after they moved from the Flatiron Building. In tune with the times, the architects Walker & Gillette included many art deco features in the interior and exterior decoration of the building.

The Fuller Building is known for housing a number of New York's most important galleries including the Andre Emmerich Gallery (closed), the Robert Miller Gallery (moved), the David McKee Gallery (moved), David Findlay Jr. Gallery, Katharina Rich Perlow Gallery, Andrew Crispo Gallery (closed), and the pioneering Pierre Matisse Gallery (closed), amongst others. Although several galleries have either moved or closed, many newer ones have taken their place.
