The paper’s headquarters, the Daily News Building at 220 East 42nd Street near Second Avenue (known as 5 Manhattan West), designed by architects John Mead Howells and Raymond Hood, was an official New York City landmark until 1995 when it was replaced by a modern tower. The building straddles the railroad tracks that run into Pennsylvania Station. A former Daily News subsidiary, WPIX-TV, now known as WCBS, still has its offices in the 42nd Street location.
