1853: Architect Cyrus Lazelle Warner Eidlitz was born in New York City. His father was Prague-born architect, Leopold Eidlitz. Educated in New York and Europe, the younger Eidlitz is known for designing numerous public buildings, including Chicago's Dearborn Station and the Buffalo Public Library. Cyrus Eidlitz's work, like that of his father, was especially influenced by Gothic and Romanesque revival styles of the second half of the nineteenth century. In 1904, Cyrus Eidlitz collaborated with Alexander McKenzie on the New York Times Building - a steel-framed skyscraper with Beaux-Arts facade and Gothic accents created for New York Times publisher Arthur Ochs. Located at the intersection of 7th Avenue, Broadway, and 42nd Street, the building filled a triangle at the base of Longacre Square, soon renamed Times Square in honor of the building.
