Construction of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Building between October 1907 and July 1908. The final photograph shows the building completed in 1909, looking south on Madison Avenue with #MadisonSquareGarden in the distance. Designed by Napoleon LeBrun & Sons the Met Life tower was modeled after the Campanile in Venice. The original 11-story base, built as a headquarters for Metropolitan Life, opened in 1893 and the tower was added in 1909, making it the tallest building in the world until the #Woolworth opened in 1913. The #tower was clad in Tuchahoe marble with renaissance revival ornamentation, but in 1964 a renovation removed much of the #architectural details and covered the tower in limestone. In 2015 the #MetLifeTower was converted into the 273-room luxury New York Edition Hotel.
