A latent historicism that had characterized many of Johnson's buildings in midcareer came to the fore in his unabashedly neo-Georgian design (featuring a "Chippendale" broken-pediment top) for the AT&T headquarters in New York City (1978-84, now the Sony Building); the controversy it engendered was a key factor in bringing the postmodern architectural debate into the public forum.
