401 Broadway

USA / New Jersey / Hoboken / Broadway, 401
 office building, skyscraper
336-foot, 26-story Art-Deco office building completed in 1930. Designed by Jardine, Hill & Murdock, its huge massing is counterbalanced by the finely displayed recessed setbacks, from which some have canted angles. It has a 3-story limestone base, with brown brick piers above. The rooftop disposition is assymetrical: the left tower is blank and houses a water tank, while the most important one, parallelepipedic, is headed by a church-like slanted roof. The base and the middle part of the building are enhanced with thin buttress-like piers, ornamented spandrels and crenellated setback lines. Exterior air conditioning units dot the facade.
