Description and history
Designed by architect Kenneth Norton of James Edwin Ruthven Carpenter Jr., the skyscraper was completed in 1930 as the Lincoln Building. Among the building's features are the Gothic windows at the top. In June 2009, the Lincoln Building was renamed One Grand Central Place, and it underwent a $85 million renovation, which included new windows, renovated elevators, renovated air-conditioned public corridors and restrooms, and upgraded building-wide systems.

In March 2020, One Grand Central Place had New York's first reported person-to-person spread of SARS-CoV-2 during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abraham Lincoln sculpture
In 1956, Lawrence Wien paid his daughter, Margaret French Cresson, $3,000 to acquire Daniel Chester French's 3 ft bronze model of Abraham Lincoln, a cast of one of the sketches used to create the statue for the Lincoln Memorial. Wien put the sculpture on display in the visitor's center in the lobby. When the building was renamed One Grand Central Place in 2009, the model was removed and loaned to Chesterwood estate in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. It was returned to the lobby on April 15, 2015.
