Landmarks voted to issue a certificate of appropriateness for new carpeting, while denying plans to alter walnut-veneer transom and lighting, and remove glass partition installed by Philip Johnson in 1983. On May 19, 2015, the Landmarks Preservation Commission considered a proposal to make alterations to the Four Seasons Restaurant, designated an interior landmark in 1989, in the lobby of the Seagram Building at 375 Park Avenue in Manhattan. The Seagram Building, completed in 1958, designated an individual City landmark also in 1989, is the only New York City structure designed architect Mies van der Rohe, and an icon of the mid-century International Style. Pritzker Prize-winning American architect and van der Rohe acolyte Philip Johnson designed the restaurant interior.
