 Embedded in the sidewalk around 101 Park Ave are a series of bronze reliefs that celebrate the rich architectural heritage of the commercial properties in the Grand Central Partnership district. At the site, once stood "The Architects` Building", home to many of the designers of the structures depicted in the plaques. This commemorative project seeks to re-establish the historic link. It was made possible through the leadership and generosity of HJ Kalikow and Co., and the Grand Central Partnership. The bronze reliefs are by Gregg LeFevre a sculptor from New York City, assisted by James Owens of Boston. 

<p>The Chanin Building is a 56-story office skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan in New York City. The building is named for Irwin S. Chanin, its developer. The structure was designed in the Art Deco style by John Sloan and T. Markoe Robertson of the firm Sloan &amp; Robertson, with the assistance of Chanin's architect Jacques Delamarre. It incorporates architectural sculpture by Rene Paul Chambellan, as well as a facade of brick and terracotta. The skyscraper reaches 680 feet, with a 649-foot-tall roof topped by a 31-foot spire. The Chanin Building includes numerous setbacks to conform with the 1916 Zoning Resolution. </p><p>The Chanin Building was constructed on the site of a warehouse, one of the last remaining undeveloped sites around Grand Central Terminal. Upon opening, the building was almost fully rented, and it was the third-tallest building in New York City. Art deco allegorical figures are carved into the facade of the Chanin Building. </p>
