    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.
