The Corning Glass Building (Harrison & Abramovitz). 196126-story tower, is an offspring of Lever House and the Seagram Building, borrowing the green-glass facade of the former and the slab tower and plaza of the latter, both well but not brilliantly done.Yet so strong are its stylistic idols that this is a pleasant, clean-cut addition to Fifth Avenue. Its modest scale and rather small and discrete plaza brought modern architectural design to the upper part of midtown Fifth Avenue. The ground-floor Steuben Glass showroom, in fact, did much to reinforce the elegance of its prime site across 56th Street then from the Bonwit Teller store that was subsequently replaced by Trump Tower.
