10 Rockefeller Plaza

Completed in 1940, the building is part of Rockefeller Center and, like the rest of the complex, was built in the Art Deco style.

[6] The lobby includes a staircase that curves down to the shopping concourse underneath the entire Rockefeller Center complex.

The piece depicts planes and gods flying at night; historical means of transport such as steamboat and steam train; and Rickenbacker's racecar, among other things.

There is a lounge for car owners, a recreational area for chauffeurs, and bronze firepoles for attendants to access the garage quickly.

[13] Notable modern tenants include the studios for NBC's Today and Nightly News programs,[14][15] and, since 2005, the Nintendo New York store.

[4][18] The planned opera house was canceled in December 1929 due to various issues,[19][20][21] and John D. Rockefeller Jr. negotiated with Radio Corporation of America (RCA) and its subsidiaries, National Broadcasting Company (NBC) and Radio-Keith-Orpheum (RKO), to build a mass media entertainment complex on the site.

[30] However, Rockefeller Center's managers were already in negotiations with Eastern Air Lines, whose CEO Eddie Rickenbacker would sign a lease in June 1940.

[33] Although the complex itself was finished in November 1939,[34] the Eastern Air Lines Building was not officially complete until its dedication in October 1940.

[37] In April 2023, Tishman Speyer proposed renovating ten of the building's upper stories into a 130-room hotel operated by Aspen Hospitality.
