About the Charles Scribner's Sons Building
Charles Scribner's Sons Building, at 597 Fifth Avenue, is a commercial building in Midtown Manhattan, on the eastern side of Fifth Avenue from 48th Street up to 49th Street. Ernest Flagg designed it in the Beaux Arts style, and it went up in 1912–1913 for Scribner's Bookstore. Flagg's earlier design for a bookstore for Scribner's, at 155 Fifth Avenue, came first. Flagg considered the new building the best thing he ever did.
The structure rises ten stories and uses non-load-bearing construction. On Fifth Avenue, black and gold decoration marks a glass-and-iron storefront across the bottom two stories. Five limestone bays run from the third story to the ninth, and a mansard roof crowns the tenth. Medallions on vertical piers show the busts of four printers: Aldus Manutius, Johann Gutenberg, William Caxton and Benjamin Franklin.
Inside, the bookstore filled the lowest two stories, and offices, including space for the Scribner's publishing company, occupied the floors above. The retail space is a long, nave-like room with an ornately decorated vaulted ceiling 30 feet (9.1 m) tall. Scribner's owned the building until 1984, and the bookstore closed in 1989. The city's Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the building a landmark in 1982 and the ground-floor interior in 1989.
