dc.description | International Building North, 636 Fifth Avenue entrance; "Youth Leading Industry" by Piccirilli, cast Pyrex glass, detail; Following the theme established with the British Empire Building and La Maison Française, 630 Fifth Avenue was named the International Building, and its southerly frontage (southernmost wing) on Fifth Avenue became known as the Palazzo d’Italia. The internationalist scheme was both an effort to attract tenants with connections to the honored countries, and celebrate the internationalism that John D. Rockefeller, Jr., believed was the key to world peace. Originally there were some consulates located in the building, and a passport office on the second floor.
