建筑师赛洛斯．爱德利兹 (Cyrus
Eidlitz) 出生
1853年7月27日
年少时的爱德利兹设计了不少的公共建筑，包含芝加哥的德尔堡车站
(Dearborn
Station)
及水牛城公共图书馆
(Buffalo
Public Library)
。然而纽约时报大楼，这座备有装饰性线条及歌德式细部，拥有钢筋骨架的摩天大楼，也许是他最着名的作品。纽约时报大楼进驻长亩广场(Longacre
Square)的端点，该广场后更名为时代广场，以表扬此一大楼及其拥有者，即纽约时报。大楼落成时，它是曼哈顿的第二高建筑物，不久即成为生气勃勃的剧院地区据点。
The younger Eidlitz designed numerous public buildings, including Chicago's Dearborn Station and the Buffalo Public Library. However, the New York Times Building, a steel-framed skyscraper with decorative lines and Gothic details, is probably his most famous work. It filled a triangle at the base of Longacre Square, later renamed Times Square for the building and its owner, The New York Times newspaper. When it opened, it was the second tallest building in Manhattan and soon became the backdrop for a lively theater district.
