建築師賽洛斯‧愛德利茲 (Cyrus
Eidlitz) 出生
1853年7月27日
年少時的愛德利茲設計了不少的公共建築，包含芝加哥的德爾堡車站
(Dearborn
Station)
及水牛城公共圖書館
(Buffalo
Public Library)
。然而紐約時報大樓，這座備有裝飾性線條及歌德式細部，擁有鋼筋骨架的摩天大樓，也許是他最著名的作品。紐約時報大樓進駐長畝廣場(Longacre
Square)的端點，該廣場後更名為時代廣場，以表揚此一大樓及其擁有者，即紐約時報。大樓落成時，它是曼哈頓的第二高建築物，不久即成為生氣勃勃的劇院地區據點。
The younger Eidlitz designed numerous public buildings, including Chicago's Dearborn Station and the Buffalo Public Library. However, the New York Times Building, a steel-framed skyscraper with decorative lines and Gothic details, is probably his most famous work. It filled a triangle at the base of Longacre Square, later renamed Times Square for the building and its owner, The New York Times newspaper. When it opened, it was the second tallest building in Manhattan and soon became the backdrop for a lively theater district.
