The Standard Oil Building was a prominent skyscraper located in New York City, completed in 1920. It served as the headquarters for the Standard Oil Company, which was founded by John D. Rockefeller. The building was known for its distinctive architectural style and was one of the tallest structures in the city at the time. The building was designed by the architectural firm of Carrère and Hastings and featured a mix of Renaissance and Beaux-Arts styles. It was a symbol of the power and influence of the oil industry during the early 20th century. The Standard Oil Building was eventually demolished in 1954 to make way for new developments.
