| dc.description | 49th Street Entrance; "Progress" by Lee Lawrie, 1937, detail, Columbia; This was the original Time- Life Building, before the publishing company moved west to 1271 Avenue of the Americas. An original tenant was General Dynamics, for whom the building was briefly named. The large wooden sculptures by Carl Milles on the west wall of its lobby feature a woodsman in the middle piece of the triptych, above which a mechanical bird chirps every hour. The original bird was a clarino, or Mexican thrush, that belonged to Bronx Zoo president Fairfield Osborn. NBC engineers were dispatched to Osborn’s house on East Sixty-First Street to record the clarino’s singing for posterity.
