Standard Star Building

The Standard Star Building is a historic commercial structure located in the Downtown section of New Rochelle, Westchester County, New York.

The Standard-Star was founded in 1923 and first published on July 2 of that year with the merging of New Rochelle’s two prior daily papers, The Standard and The Star.

That to the south was designed as an entry to the upper story offices; the corresponding window to the north initially housed an illuminated bulletin board that provided the news of the day.

The north side of the building is articulated as a series of arched openings at both stories designed to flood the work spaces with natural light.

The last date was perhaps the most significant, when an addition was built off the rear of the building (facing the Le Count Place side of the lot) to house a restaurant and bar.
