4 Stop 4 of 12 on The Hit Factory

The Paramount Building

Times Square, New York City

A Preview

"Look up for the clock tower with the glass globe sitting on top of it. That's the Paramount Building, and the globe used to be lit from inside so it could be seen from a long way off — a lighthouse for a movie studio. Underneath it, from the twenties into the sixties, sat the Paramount Theatre. Thirty-six hundred seats."
