The Time-Life Building, located at 1271 Avenue of the Americas (6th Avenue) in Rockefeller Center in New York opened in 1959 and designed by the Rockefeller family's architect Wallace Harrison, of Harrison, Abramovitz, and Harris.

It was the first expansion of Rockefeller Center west of the Avenue of the Americas.

Large murals by Josef Albers and Fritz Glamer are in the lobby.

It is a 48-story building, with green glass windows and column-free floors of 28,000 square feet. Time Inc., the publisher of "Time" and "Life" magazines initially occupied 21 floors. CNN's "American Morning" was based there from 2002 to 2006. CNN's ground floor studio is now occupied by the studio of SportsNet New York.
