Description: The Equitable Building is a 38-story office building in New York City, located at 120 Broadway between Pine and Cedar Streets in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan. A landmark engineering achievement as a skyscraper, it was designed by Ernest R. Graham and built in 1913-15. The controversy surrounding its construction contributed to the adoption of the first modern building and zoning restrictions on vertical structures in Manhattan. The building was restored in 1983-90 by Ehrenkrantz, Eckstuf & Whitelaw.
