1950
After its life as a theater, the site spent a decade as a parking lot. The base of the current Hippodrome, from the basement level thru the eighth floor, was built during the 1950s. The building housed a large parking garage catering to the theater crowd, as well as office floors and a watch factory. It was one of the first post-war buildings erected on this part of the Avenue of the Americas.

Hippodrome History
1905-1939
The Hippodrome was built as a theater in 1905. With a capacity of 5,200, it was the largest and one of the most successful theaters of its time. The Hippodrome was known for lavish spectacles, including circus animals, diving horses, opulent sets and 500-member choruses. The most popular vaudeville artists of the day, including illusionist Harry Houdini, performed at the Hippodrome. On August 16, 1939, the Hippodrome hosted its last show.

The building housed a large parking garage catering to the theater crowd, as well as office floors and a watch factory. It was one of the first post-war buildings erected on this part of the Avenue of the Americas.
1962
The Hippodrome's tower, rising from the 9th thru 21st floors plus mechanical levels, was added in 1962, effectively creating a building on top of a building as the two structures used different mechanical systems. The building became home to a variety of office tenants, including May Department Stores, Allied Department Stores, New York Telephone and Scholastic Magazines.
In 2004 & 2005
The Gottesman family, which bought the Hippodrome in 1978, undertook a total overhaul of the building. The repositioning included a state-of-the-art, energy-efficient glass curtain wall, a gorgeous two-story lobby finished in Italian marble, limestone and silver leaf, and updated mechanical systems. The Class A Hippodrome now houses a number of well-known tenants, including American Express Publishing, Macy's International, Huron Group, Inc., the Direct Marketing Association and 5W Public Relations.
