Times Building was completed in 1904, the same year of the Times Subway Station, which entrance in seen below. Still in the same year, the old Long Acre Square was renamed Times Square. The newspaper headquarters moved to this building in January 1905 and left it in 1913, when it moved into the Times Annex at 229 West 43rd Street. In the 1960s its façade was entirely reclad and then served as a kiosk for billboards and video screens.

The old Metropole Hotel is on the left. Hotel Astor is on the right, between 44th Street and 45th St. Several skyscrapers, theaters and billboards took over this area in the following decades. More: Times Square looking north ►
