40 Wall Street is a 71-story skyscraper in New York City completed in 1930. It is also known as the Trump Building (which adorns the building currently) after a 1996 renovation by Donald Trump who had bought the building. It was first known as Bank of Manhattan Trust Building when it was first finished, however. Its pinnacle reaches 927 ft (282.5m) and was very briefly the tallest building in the world, soon surpassed by the Chrysler Building finished that same year.

The architects were H. Craig Severance and Yasuo Matsui.

It was hit by a US Coast Guard airplane in 1946 during a fog. The crash killed four people.
