- The Story of a Building tells the story of the construction of the iconic Seagram Building on Park Avenue in New York City. The 14-minute film from 1958 provides a detailed look at the design and construction of a building hailed by publisher Henry Luce as a "20th century revolution in architecture."
The beautifully shot and composed film was sponsored by the Copper and Brass Research Association but the producer of the film is unknown. Very little information could be found about the intent or potential audience for it's creation. Even though we have limited context for its making, it stands as an important document about the rise of trendsetting addition to New York City's skyline.
It's innovative design and construction methods became a template for later projects in New York and beyond.
