Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower


The Metropolitan Life Building was constructed in 1909. Napoleon Lebrun and Sons designed the 700 Ft. building Harvey Wiley Corbett was an architect on this project. It was the tallest building from 1909 to 1913 but it lost to the Woolworth Building. This Building is also located in Manhattan on madison avenue. It has 22 floors The feature that i like the most are the clocks on each face of the wall. My reaction was that it looked like a very old building next to the modern ones that sorrounded it.
