TheTransportation Building is a 44-storyskyscraper at 225Broadway on the corner of Barclay Street in theCivic Center neighborhood ofLower Manhattan inNew York City. It also carries the address 2-4 Barclay Street. It was built in 1927 and was designed by the architecture firm ofYork & Sawyer, in theRenaissance Revival style,[1] usingsetbacks common to skyscrapers built after the adoption of the1916 Zoning Resolution.[2] It sits across Barclay Street from theWoolworth Building.

The site of the Transportation Building had previously been the northern portion of theAstor House luxury hotel.[3] The hotel went into a long decline which began in the 1850s with the building of newer, more luxurious hotels. In 1913, the southern part was razed and replaced in 1915-16 with the Astor House Building at 217 Broadway, which is still extant. The northern part was torn down in 1926 to make way for the Transportation Building.[4]

One of the first tenants of the Transportation Building was the Pace Institute – the predecessor of the school that is nowPace University – which moved into the new building in 1927 and remained until the 1950s.[5][6]
