Number of stories in the base

[edit]

In a couple of places, the article says the base is three stories, while in another place it says it's four stories. The pictures also seem to show four stories. However, the article also says the tower is 42 stories and the total number of stories is 45. So which numbers are correct? Indyguy (talk) 20:40, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Indyguy: the building's composed of the base (3 stories) and the tower portion of the building (42 stories) which adds up to 45 stories. The tower is not the same as the entire building. Due to the site sloping down from Lexington Avenue toward Third Avenue, the base has three stories on Lexington Avenue and four on Third Avenue. However, the ground level on Third Avenue is actually a basement. I have clarified this in the page. epicgenius (talk) 19:20, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
