About the Brill Building
The Brill Building is an office tower on Broadway, at number 1619, where it meets 49th Street, just north of Times Square in Manhattan. It has 11 stories and roughly 175,000 square feet, or 16,300 m2, of space for rent. Victor Bark Jr. designed it, and it went up in 1931 and was first called the Alan E. Lefcourt Building, named for the son of the builder, Abraham E. Lefcourt.
The Brill name came from Maurice Brill. He was a haberdasher who ran a street-level shop and later bought the building. Music companies kept offices and studios inside, and some of the best-known American songs were written there. Many consider it the heart of the American music business that ruled the pop charts during the early 1960s.
Even before World War II the building was a hub for music publishing and songwriting. By 1962 it contained 165 music businesses, and by the mid-1960s a musician could record a demo, locate a publisher and a printer, and arrange promotion without ever leaving. Its name became shorthand for a broad, influential stream of American popular music from the late 1950s and the 1960s, the "Brill Building Sound", although much of that music in fact came from other locations.
