1345 Avenue of the Americas (also known as the AllianceBernstein Building and formerly the Burlington House) is a 625-foot (191 m)-tall, 50-story skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan, New York City.[1] Located on Sixth Avenue between 54th and 55th Streets, the building was built by Fisher Brothers and designed by Emery Roth & Sons. When completed in 1969, the building was originally named after Burlington Industries and today it is named after AllianceBernstein.
1345 Avenue of the Americas is an unrelieved slab structure in the International Style, sometimes referred to as "corporate" style, faced with dark glass. Its small plaza is dominated by its sprinkling fountain like a dandelion seedhead. It replaced the original Ziegfeld Theatre.
