330 West 42nd Street, also known as the McGraw-Hill Building, is a 485-foot-tall (148 m), 33-story skyscraper in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. It was designed by Raymond Hood and J. André Fouilhoux in a mixture of the International Style, Art Deco, and Streamline Moderne styles. The exterior has numerous setbacks, blue-green terracotta ceramic tile panels, and green metal-framed windows. The lobby originally had blue and green panels, and most of the upper stories have similar floor plans. The building, constructed from 1930 to 1931, was originally the headquarters of the McGraw-Hill Companies until 1972. Since then, ownership of 330 West 42nd Street has changed several times; Deco Towers has owned the building since 1994. Moed de Armas and Shannon completely renovated the building in 2021, and the upper stories were converted into apartments starting in 2023. Designated as a city landmark, the building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
