Seeger Weiss in New York
Seeger Weiss is located at One William Street in the heart of New York City's Financial District. The One William Street building, also known as the Seligman Building, was completed in 1907 and eventually designated a historical and architectural landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission.
Designed by architects Francis H. Kimball, who the New York Times called "the father of the skyscraper" in 1919, and Julian Levi, the One William Street building was one of many architectural innovations that stretched the traditional Italian Renassiance palazzo upwards with the introduction of steel framework. This "Baroque Revival" building transforms a difficult quadrilateral space into a dramatic upwards visual sweep.
Lehman Brothers made the One William Street building their headquarters from 1929 to 1980. Since then the building has been occupied by Intesa Sanpaolo, Italy's largest bank, and Seeger Weiss.
