The #NYTimes outgrew the building quickly. Apparently, the #printing presses in the basement were so affected by the #subway underneath, they had to put sand under them! They moved to a huge #building on 43rd & stayed there until 2007, expanding to 44th.
Owner Ochs started the #NewYear's celebrations on Dec 31, 1904, & for years they just lit fireworks on the roof until the city outlawed it. The ball drop started that year, 1908.
