This 33 storey colossal clock-tower in the middle of Times Square is one of New York City’s most popular attractions. Built in the year 1926, the pyramid-shaped monument was home to the 3600 seat Paramount Theater. Gary Cooper, Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby all graced the stage here at some point in time—that is Paramount's historic trivia for you. By the year 1964, the doors closed to make way for the corporate clan. A lot of offices have sprung up within Paramount's premises in recent years and it now houses the WWF entertainment complex along with a restaurant, retail store and nightclub.
