TheOld New York Evening Post Building is the former office and printing plant of theNew York Evening Post newspaper located at 20Vesey Street betweenChurch Street andBroadway in theFinancial District ofManhattan,New York City. It was built in 1906–07 and was designed by architectRobert D. Kohn forOswald Garrison Villard, who owned the Post at the time, and is considered to be "one of the few outstandingArt Nouveau buildings" ever constructed in the United States.[2]

The fourteen-story, stone-veneer building is "reminiscent of the buildings that line the boulevards of Paris", and was not copied from an existing building.[3] It features three tall bays of cast-iron framed bow windows, separated by pale limestone piers. There is an elaborate copper-coveredmansard roof, two stories high and four elaborate sculpted figures.[2] The statues depict theFour Periods of Publicity; two are byGutzon Borglum, sculptor ofMount Rushmore, and two by the architect's wife, Estelle Rumbold Kohn.[4]

TheNew York Evening Post occupied the building until moving to theNew York Evening Post Building in 1926.[5]

The building, which was later called the Garrison Building,[6] was designated aNew York City landmark in 1965,[2] and was added to theNational Register of Historic Places in 1977. TheNew York Landmarks Preservation Commission was headquartered in the building from 1980 to 1987.[2]
