Madison Belmont Building, Office building in Midtown Manhattan, US.
The Madison Belmont Building is an 18-story office structure located at the corner of Madison Avenue and 34th Street in Midtown Manhattan. The Neoclassical design features brick, steel, and architectural terracotta, with retail spaces occupying the ground levels.
Architects Warren and Wetmore completed this structure in 1925 during a period of rapid commercial expansion in Manhattan's business district. The building was part of a larger wave of office construction that transformed this area into a major commercial hub.
The lower floors once housed silk showrooms that shaped the character of this Manhattan avenue during the early 20th century. The space reflects a time when this area was a bustling center for the textile trade.
The building is easily accessible by multiple subway lines and bus routes that serve the Midtown area. Ground-floor retail spaces are open to the public, while upper floors function as private office space.
The building's base features elaborate iron and bronze decorative elements designed by metalwork artist Edgar Brandt. These ornamental details blend Egyptian, Greek, and Roman mythological figures in an intricate Art Deco composition.
