The Fuller Building at 595 Madison Avenue was designed by Walker & Gillette for the Fuller Construction Company, which moved from the Flatiron Building. The infobox names the George A. Fuller Company. Construction began in 1928 and finished on September 7, 1929. The style is Art Deco, described as conservative.
It has 40 stories and rises 492 feet (150 m) on a lot of about 12,900 square feet. The lowest six stories are black Swedish granite and the upper floors are light limestone and cast stone, with setbacks required by the 1916 Zoning Resolution. The lobby uses gray Tennessee marble, black Belgian marble, bronze and mosaic floors. A sculptural group by Elie Nadelman marks the entrance.
The exterior and lobby were designated New York City landmarks in 1986. It became a gallery address in the late 20th century. Vornado Realty Trust bought it in 1999. It now holds offices and fashion retail. The article gives no hours.
