The construction of the Eastern Offices Building, as the Graybar was originally called, began in 1925 conforming to the 1916 zoning resolution that required structures to set back as they rose in height. The 30 story building was designed by Sloan & Robertson, a 1920s architectural firm specializing in speculative construction and public works.In 1927 the Graybar building was one of the last edifices to be completed in the East Midtown area. It was erected directly above the railroad tracks which was then owned by New York Central Railroad.The Graybar structure was an integral part of the Grand Central Terminal incorporating multiple train platforms and an impressive passageway which connects the terminal to Lexington Avenue.This area was then called “Terminal City” because it was a major hub for commerce and trade throughout the early to mid-1900s.One of the original tenants of this Art Deco and Byzantine-style architecture was the Graybar Electric Company (1926-1982) and upon its completion (1927), the Graybar building was an immediate success attracting other prominent tenants the likes of Turner Construction.Graybar announced in 2015 its return to its historic roots in Midtown Manhattan East Side.

Such a lovely building, nicely lit and the architecture is amazing.

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE COMPANY. I ordered $17K worth of lighting products from them. They double billed my AMEX, and I spent 6 weeks going back and forth with them to get a refund. They acknowledged the mistake but cannot fix. All empty and broken promises. Horrible Customer Service. Extremely unprofessional company, no one wants to take accountability. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY! THEY WILL SCAM YOU AND DOUBLE CHARGE YOU AND MAKE YOU CHASE THEM!

Great building. Everything is way overpriced, but thats GB for you. (Spent over $450 on a pack of 25 keystone jacks :o)

Beautiful marble entryway. The building is old but many of the floors have been renovated. Building security is very friendly yet perceptive and helpful.

Very easy visitor check in process, super friendly security staff helping get everyone where they need to go. Worked in the building all week and enjoyed the location and facilities.

History and the tile work is amazing. Definitely a great illustration for Americas golden age of industrialization.

I work in the building and the building is located extremely conveniently next to (attached) Grand Central Station. Friendly and helpful security staff, and gorgeous entrance.

I liked the access to and from Grand Central Terminal so you dont have to go out to in street. With ugly weather is really appreciated.

A very professional building downtown on the east side in the borough of Manhattan. A number of professional businesses. Most notably the #1 law firm in the United States of America with the 10 top attorneys in the US as well. That firms name would be Wingate,Russotti,Shapiro,&Halperin LLC .Being #1 speaks volumes!!!! So if you have legal problems, deal with the best not the rest.

The Architecture Is Amazing Built in 1903 Houses The Records For Vital Statistics, ( birth certificates) and Public Health Department.

This is a beautiful building well kept by SL Green.

Good food, a little noisy during happy hour.

Best place in Manhattan to get your teeth attended to

I work in the Graybar Building. Its always clean and has a great security team.

The guards are extremely polite and professional.

Fairly tight security. Nice staff

This place was the first place after five years to give me a chance at a Job.

Love the attentions performed by staff.

What can I say! Its a Manhattan building with Manhattan security. You can get in from inside of Grand Central but I could never find it until I am leaving the building.
