DESCRIPTION
640 5th Avenue, also known as Crowell-Collier Building, is a commercial office in New York, USA. The building was originally constructed in 1949, and the facade was retrofitted in 2004. The retrofit intervention included limestone re-pointing and window replacement in the lower floors, while the addition of floors demanded a re-skinning of the top section of the building.
