The Everett Building is a 16-story commercial structure at 200 Park Avenue South at the northwest corner with East 17th Street, on Union Square in Manhattan, New York.

It marked the development of fireproof commercial skyscrapers with open plan interiors and simple, classical exteriors.

[2] The Everett Building, along with the W New York Union Square (formerly Germania Life Insurance Company Building) at the northeast corner of Park Avenue South and 17th Street, were described by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission as forming an "imposing terminus to Park Avenue South".

The site of the Everett Building was initially part of the colonial farm owned by Dutch settler Cornelius Tiebout.

After the American Civil War, Union Square became a primarily commercial area and many mansions were destroyed, including Everett House.

[7] When the plans were publicly released at the end of that month, there was high demand for industrial loft and office space in the area.

[11] Though the building was erected for the Everett Investing Company, its other tenants worked in a variety of industries, and included silk sellers William Skinner and Sons, construction contractors W. G. Cornell, and even the offices of Starrett & van Vleck.

[9][13] Starrett & van Vleck used a grid-like pattern on the fourth through 14th floor, creating an exterior articulation depicting the structural frame inside,[14] and thus fulfilled a key design principle of the Chicago school architectural style.

[14][15] According to critic A. C. David, the optimal building design included high ceilings and large windows to maximize natural light coverage.
