The Time & Life building was the first structure built as part of the Rockefeller Center expansion, west of Sixth Avenue which began in 1958.
The exterior column piers are clad in limestone and the walls between consist of green-tinted glass with thin, facade-high aluminum mullions and window-covered mesh spandrels. The building is set back from Sixth Avenue and 50th Street to create space for a streetside plaza. A Copacabana pattern of terrazzo stretches across the plaza and into the building's 16-foot high lobby, which makes extensive use of stainless steel paneling with gradual hue tinting.
