NEW MANHATTAN SKYSCRAPER.—A drawing of the new General Motors Building, a tower of white marble rising from a sunken plaza lined with shopping arcades in a block bounded by Fifth and Madison avenues between 58th and 59th streets. The 50-storey building will replace the 25-storey office block at 1775 Broadway, which has been the company’s New York headquarters since 1927, and the 10 storey Argonaut building at 225 West 57th street. The new building will be made up of a central rectangular tower with short wings projecting from the longer sides.
