10 East 40th Street from the main branch of the New York Public Library

10 East 40th Street is a skyscraper located in the Murray Hill section of New York City, between Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue, taking the width of the block between 40th and 39th Streets. Designed by Ludlow & Peabody and built by Jesse H. Jones, it was finished in 1929 and is considered part of the art deco school of architecture. When it was built, it was the 7th tallest tower in New York City.

It was previously known as the Chase Tower, after its first tenant, Chase Copper & Brass. Its owner until the 1940s was Frederick William Vanderbilt.

It is 212.5 meters high, with 48 floors and contains 350,000 square feet (33,000 m²) of office or mixed-use space. In September of 2002, the building's lobby was renovated, restoring the 15-foot ceilings.
