We give this week an illustration of the structure, by which the reader will obtain a clearer idea of its proportions and appearance than could be conveyed by mere description. "Our engraving also gives us a view of the new Herald Building, just finished and lately occupied as the publication office of that journal. This is one of the most elegant structures on Broadway, its peculiar position, and the happy combination in its design of the ornate Italian and Ionic styles of architecture, give it a picturesque appearance, it has been specially adapted to the necessities of daily newspaper publication, and, consequently, not only fully answers the requirements of its owner, but is an ornament to the city." The author points out that the Herald Building is constructed of stone and iron, and as such is designed to be a thoroughly fire-proof structure. He follows with a discussion of other contemporary fire-proof buildings including the Harper & Brothers edifice on Franklin Square."
