One Hudson Square

 office building, high-rise, Neoclassical (architecture), 1930_construction, movie / film / TV location

246-foot, 16-story Neo-Classical office building completed in 1930 for Abe Adelson as the Holland Tunnel Building. Designed by Buchman & Kahn, it fills an almost triangular lot near the Holland Tunnel entrance. The two main facades, on Canal and Varick Streets, feature pedestrian entrances that are emphasized by a central group of projecting, over-scaled rusticated piers while the center of the Watts Street facade has a series of vehicular loading bays.

Above its limestone base, the upper floors are clad in tan brick. The exterior facade displays a regular grid of piers and window openings, with textural variation supplied by contrasting lintels and spandrels, slightly projecting corner blocks at each window, and raised stone panels where the vertical and horizontal lines meet. There are irregular setbacks on Varick Street above the 11th story and on center of Watts Street above the 7th story. A cornice runs across entire top and is formed into a squared arcade of layered bricks.

Also known as One Hudson Square, the building now houses the Jackie Robinson Foundation, Splashlight Studios, and New York magazine. The exterior and possibly interior was used as a filming location for S2E2 of the HBO original series "Succession" as the offices of Vaulter when Kendall lays off the entire staff.
