It was built in [[1908]] and [[demolition|demolished]] in [[1968]] to make room for the [[U.S. Steel Building]] (now [[One Liberty Plaza]]). The Singer Building was the tallest building in the world demolished by a company, until [[270 Park Avenue]], also located in [[Manhattan]], was demolished in 2019.

The Singer Building was the tallest building in the world from [[1908]] to [[1909]]. Before it was built, the tallest building in the world was [[Philadelphia City Hall]]. The [[Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower]] became the tallest one year later.
