The headquarters of the <a href="/wiki/Singer_Corporation" title="Singer Corporation">Singer Manufacturing Company</a>, was at the northwestern corner of <a href="/wiki/Liberty_Street_(Manhattan)" title="Liberty Street (Manhattan)">Liberty Street</a> and <a href="/wiki/Broadway_(Manhattan)" title="Broadway (Manhattan)">Broadway</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Financial_District,_Manhattan" title="Financial District, Manhattan">Financial District</a> of <a href="/wiki/Lower_Manhattan" title="Lower Manhattan">Lower Manhattan</a>. <a href="/wiki/Frederick_Gilbert_Bourne" title="Frederick Gilbert Bourne">Frederick Gilbert Bourne</a>, leader of the Singer Company, commissioned the building, which architect <a href="/wiki/Ernest_Flagg" title="Ernest Flagg">Ernest Flagg</a> designed in multiple phases from 1897 to 1908. The building's architecture contained elements of the <a href="/wiki/Beaux-Arts_architecture" title="Beaux-Arts architecture">Beaux-Arts</a> and <a href="/wiki/French_Second_Empire_style" class="mw-redirect" title="French Second Empire style">French Second Empire</a> styles. </p><p>The building was composed of four distinct sections. The original 10-story Singer Building at 149&#160;Broadway was erected between 1897 and 1898, and the adjoining 14-story Bourne Building on Liberty Street was built from 1898 to 1899. In the first decade of the 20th&#160;century, the two buildings were expanded to form the 14-story base of the Singer Tower, which rose another 27 stories. The <a href="/wiki/Facade" class="mw-redirect" title="Facade">facade</a> was made of brick, stone, and <a href="/wiki/Architectural_terracotta" title="Architectural terracotta">terracotta</a>. A <a href="/wiki/Dome" title="Dome">dome</a> with a <a href="/wiki/Roof_lantern" title="Roof lantern">lantern</a> capped the tower. The <a href="/wiki/Foundation_(engineering)" title="Foundation (engineering)">foundation</a> of the tower was excavated using <a href="/wiki/Caisson_(engineering)" title="Caisson (engineering)">caissons</a>; the building's base rested on shallower foundations. The Singer Building used a <a href="/wiki/Steel_frame" title="Steel frame">steel frame</a>, though <a href="/wiki/Load-bearing_wall" title="Load-bearing wall">load-bearing walls</a> initially supported the original structure before modification. When completed, the 41-story building had a <a href="/wiki/Marble" title="Marble">marble</a>-<a href="/wiki/Stone_veneer" title="Stone veneer">clad</a> entrance lobby, 16 elevators, 410,000 square feet (38,000&#160;m<sup>2</sup>) of office space, and an <a href="/wiki/Observation_deck" title="Observation deck">observation deck</a>. </p><p>With a roof height of 612 feet (187&#160;m), the Singer Tower was the <a href="/wiki/Skyscraper#History_of_the_tallest_skyscrapers" title="Skyscraper">tallest building in the world</a> from 1908 to 1909, when it was surpassed by the <a href="/wiki/Metropolitan_Life_Insurance_Company_Tower" title="Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower">Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower</a>. The base occupied the building's entire <a href="/wiki/Land_lot" title="Land lot">land lot</a>; the tower's floors took up just one-sixth of that area. Despite being regarded as a city icon, the Singer Building was razed between 1967 and 1969 to make way for <a href="/wiki/One_Liberty_Plaza" title="One Liberty Plaza">One Liberty Plaza</a>, which had several times more office space than the Singer Tower.
