52 Broadway, formerly known as the Exchange Court Building or Chemical Bank Building is a high-rise building on Broadway and Exchange Place in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, New York City. The building was originally built with 12 floors in 1898 by Clinton & Russell, architects, but it was rebuilt and restored in 1980-1982 by Emery Roth & Sons. It is now 67.52 metres (221.5 ft) high with 20 floors.
In September 1903, the Consolidated National Bank took out a five-year lease on around 2,500 square feet of ground floor at the Exchange Court Building, which was located at the corner of Broadway and Exchange Place.
The naval architectural firm Gielow & Orr had their headquarters in the building in the early 20th century. The United Federation of Teachers currently has its headquarters in the building.
