Bennett Building (New York City) The Bennett Building at 93-99 Nassau Street, or 139 Fulton Street, between Fulton and Ann Streets in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, New York City is a ten-story plus penthouse cast-iron loft building. It was commissioned by James Gordon Bennett Jr., the publisher of the "New York Herald" newspaper, and designed by Arthur D. Gilman in the French Second Empire style, the architect's only existing work in New York City. The building's three fully designed facades face Fulton, Nassau, and Ann Streets. Constructed in 1872-73 at six stories, the mansard roof was removed and three floors and a penthouse were added in 1890-92 by James M. Farnsworth for the building's new owner, John Petit. In 1894, Farnsworth constructed an extension of the building to Ann Street. In both cases, Farnsworth's additions carefully followed Gilman's original design. The Bennett Building is the tallest building in the world with an entirely cast-iron facade.

Healey Building The Healey Building, at 57 Forsyth Street NW, in the Fairlie-Poplar district of Atlanta, was the last major "skyscraper" built during the first great burst of multi-story commercial construction preceding World War I. In fact, it was World War I, which led to the alteration of the original design, which called for twin towers connected by a rotunda. Only the west tower and rotunda were constructed before World War I broke out. The death in 1920 of William Healey forestalled continuation of the project after the war. According to Dr. Elizabeth Lyon in her National Register of Historic Places nomination, "The Healey Building has an elegance and high shouldered dignity which make it outstanding among its contemporaries." Those contemporaries include the Chandler, the Flatiron and Hurt Buildings among others. Although certainly distinctive for its physical appearance and location, the Healey Building is also
