I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

- Wikipedia Description: Credit Lyonnais Building
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Crédit Agricole CIB Building (also known as the Crédit Lyonnais Building or earlier known as the J.C. Penney Building) is a 609 ft (186m) tall skyscraper in Manhattan, New York City. It is located at 1301 Avenue of the Americas between West 52nd and West 53rd Streets.
History
The building was developed by Uris Buildings Corporation and was completed in 1964 and has 45 floors. Uris purchased the 68,000 square feet (6,300 m2) parcel on the west side of the Avenue of the Americas from the Astor trust for $9 million in January 1964. Shreve, Lamb & Harmon Associates designed the building, which is the 123rd tallest in New York City. J. C. Penney was the initial anchor tenant, occupying over 800,000 square feet (74,000 m2) of space across 33 floors after moving from 330–348 West 34th Street. By 1974, the company occupied over 1,180,000 square feet (110,000 m2) of the building.
J. C. Penney purchased the building for $55 million in 1977 to serve as its new headquarters. By 1978, J. C. Penney had moved over 5,000 employees into the building. However, in 1988 J. C. Penney announced its intentions to move their headquarters to Dallas, leaving the building empty and up for sale.
In May 1988, Tishman Speyer and Trammell Crow Company bought the empty tower at auction for $353 million and began an ambitious renovation. The companies brought on a consortium of pension funds as equity partners and received a $600 million loan from the Japanese Sanwa Bank. The new owners embarked on a renovation plan designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill that involved asbestos removal, a new color scheme for the facade, the expansion and redesign of the lobby and the creation of a new plaza with new paving, seating, plants and sculpture.
It is named for the Calyon Corporation which resulted from the merger of Crédit Agricole Indosuez and the corporate and investment banking division of the Crédit Lyonnais corporation as a result of the takeover of the latest by Crédit Agricole S.A. in 2002. Calyon was since renamed Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank in 2010. It used to serve as the headquarters of PricewaterhouseCoopers before they moved to 300 Madison Avenue. It is now Credit Agricole CIB's US headquarters.
In October 2016, Paramount Group received $850 million to refinance the building from AXA Equitable Holdings, MetLife and New York Life Insurance Company.
