NYU School of Education Building

USA / New Jersey / Hoboken / West 4th Street, 35-39
 university, Neo-Gothic (architecture), interesting place, 1930_construction

14-story Neo-Gothic university building completed in 1930 with 12 floors (the top floor was added in 1940). Designed by James Gamble Rogers for the NYU School of Education, it includes the Frederick Loewe Theatre and most of the NYU music department. It has a tall limestone ground floor with pointed-arch openings, four to each side. An intricately-carved stone cornice caps the base and supports the narrow, angled pilasters that run up the buff-colored brick piers of the upper floors. Each window bay is slightly recessed, with pointed-arch windows on the 2nd floor, and segmental-arched windows on the 5th & 10th floors. The outer bays have all square-headed windows and rise above the inner sections, which begin a series of setbacks at the 10th floor.
