We know that "The Chrysler Builiding" is Art Deco.
Help me list the 'big name' buildings that are of the Beaux Art type.
The facade of Grand Central Terminal is Beaux Arts. There are others, though.
How do I make an answer "The Best Answer"?

There is also the Beaux Arts Institute of Design on Est44th street between !st and 2nd ave.
One of the most important buildings is the Equitable Building at 120 Broadway. At the time of its completion (c. 1914) it was the world's largest office building. It was so massive, in fact, that it was the inspiration for the set back laws in construction in the city to allow lighrt to get down to street level.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The Farley Post Office Building (on 34th Street).
The original section of the Morgan Library.
The Research Branch of the NY Public Library (on 42nd Street.)
The Brooklyn Museum (The original section of the building.)
Those are a few I can think of off hand.
