In 1965, a 36-floor addition to the site was constructed to the south of the tower to provide extra office space.
The building has a steel skeleton, and is covered in limestone. [ [http://ci.columbia.edu/0240s/0242_3/0242_3_s2_7_text.html Columbia class text] ] The building has had numerous problems with the limestone exterior and in 2001, the building's owners decided to bring in Hoffman Architects to conduct a survey of the exterior and provide a 5 year masterplan which consists of mortar repair and window replacements.
