Metropolitan Life North Building, Art Deco skyscraper in Flatiron District, United States.
The Metropolitan Life North Building rises 137.5 meters with 30 floors, featuring limestone facades and geometric patterns along Madison Avenue.
Construction started in 1929 with plans for a 100-story tower, but the Great Depression limited the final structure to 30 floors upon completion in 1950.
The ground floor houses Eleven Madison Park restaurant, which transformed traditional fine dining by introducing plant-based gastronomy to Manhattan's luxury scene.
The building contains 2.2 million square feet of office space, with 30 elevators serving major corporations including Credit Suisse and Sony subsidiaries.
The original architectural plans included designs for what would have become the tallest building in the world at 100 stories with a height of 400 meters.
