Seagram Landmark Move Is Backed
1988
Overview
''We take very seriously our stewardship of this historic New York City structure,'' the chairman of the insurance company, Clifton R. Wharton Jr., said. ''The Seagram Building must continue to serve as an example of how an office building can enhance the environment, rather than detract from it.'' ''The designation may be viewed as one further level of distinction that enhances the building's appeal and its attractiveness to tenants,'' an assistant vice president of the company, Claire Sheahan, said. ''And it continues to enhance the stature of the property as an investment. We see landmark designation as another step in preserving this unique architectural treasure.'' Refinement and Care ''The structure, [Ludwig Mies van der Rohe]'s first executed office building commission, expresses his ideals of order, logic and clarity,'' the statement said. ''Not only did Mies provide a sumptuous office building, but he is considered by many to have produced a beautiful work of art, one of the great buildings of 20th-century architecture.''
