The Postcard
A postally unused postcard with photography by Irving Underhill of New York. His initials are in the bottom right corner of the photograph. The card was produced in the United States.
On the back of the card the publishers have printed:
'The Metropolitan Building
facing Madison Square
presents one of the singularly
attractive sights of New York
City at night.
This magnificent marble
structure, the home of the
greatest life insurance
corporation in the world,
towers majestically over
Madison Square, the most
popular gathering place in
the heart of New York City'.
Irving Underhill
Irving Underhill (1872 - 1960) was one of the most notable commercial photographers in New York City during the first half of the 20th century.
Irving produced work that was frequently featured on postcards and in numerous publications while he was alive, and his work continues to be exhibited and receive recognition long after his death.
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower
The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower (colloquially known as the Met Life Tower) is a skyscraper occupying a full block in the Flatiron District of Manhattan in NYC.
The building comprises two sections: a 700-foot-tall (210 m) tower at the northwest corner of the block, at Madison Avenue and 24th Street, and a shorter east wing occupying the remainder of the block bounded by Madison Avenue, Park Avenue South, 23rd Street, and 24th Street. The block measures 200 feet (61 m) from north to south and 445 feet (136 m) from east to west.
The South Building, along with the North Building directly across 24th. Street, comprises the Metropolitan Home Office Complex, which originally served as the headquarters of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company.
The South Building's tower was designed by the architectural firm of Napoleon LeBrun & Sons, and erected between 1905 and 1909.
Inspired by St. Mark's Campanile in Venice, the tower features four clock faces, four bells, and lighted beacons at its top. It was the tallest building in the world until 1913.
The tower originally included Metropolitan Life's offices, and since 2015, it has contained a 273-room luxury hotel known as the New York Edition Hotel.
The tower was designated as a city landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1989, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
The east wing was designed by Lloyd Morgan and Eugene Meroni, and constructed in two stages between 1953 and 1960. The east wing is also referred to as One Madison Avenue.
When the current east wing was built, the 700-foot tower was extensively renovated as well. In 2020, work started on an addition to the east wing, which will be designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox and be completed in 2023 or 2024.
Architecture
The first section of the original 11-story, full-block east wing was completed in 1893. The tower was a later addition to the original building, constructed between 1905 and 1909.
The original home office building was replaced with the current building, designed by Lloyd Morgan and Eugene Meroni, between 1953 and 1957. The complex is one of the few remaining major insurance company "home offices" in New York City.
The Tower
The tower rises 700 feet (210 m) to its pinnacle. It has a footprint measuring 75 feet (23 m) north-south along Madison Avenue and 85 feet (26 m) west-east on 24th Street.
The Metropolitan Life Tower is surprisingly is older than its model, since St. Mark's Campanile collapsed in 1902 and was replaced in 1912. It is also more than twice as large as St. Mark's Campanile.
Like the façades of many early skyscrapers, the tower's exterior was divided into three horizontal sections similar to the components of a column—namely a base, shaft, and capital—in both its original and renovated forms.
These three sections include usable space inside, and are collectively 660 feet (200 m) tall. The tower is topped by a 40-foot-tall (12 m) pyramidal roof, which is slightly set back and contains a cupola and lantern.
The tower was originally sheathed in Tuckahoe marble, provided by the main contractor, the Hedden Construction Company. However during the 1964 renovation, plain limestone was used to cover the tower and the east wing, replacing LeBrun's old Renaissance Revival details with a streamlined, modern look. The tower was designed with oversized exterior details to make it seem smaller than it actually was.
Some 7,500 short tons of steel were used in the tower's structural frame. The footings of the tower are 60 feet (18 m) deep, supported by twelve columns on the edges and eight columns inside the plot, and anchored to a layer of bedrock between 28 to 46 feet (8.5 to 14.0 m) deep.
The main columns at the tower's corners measure 2 by 2 feet (0.61 by 0.61 m). They bear structural loads of up to 10.4 million pounds (4,700,000 kg) when wind pressure is taken into account. The structural steel frame of the tower, and of its former east wing, is encased in reinforced concrete.
The marble and brickwork used in the building is anchored to the structural steel frame, while the floors are made of inverted concrete arches. As a consequence of all the marble used in the Met Life Tower, it weighed about 38,000 short tons when first built, or about twice as much as the Singer Tower.
Façade
The base of the tower comprises the first and second stories. The lowest portion of the façade along Madison Avenue and 24th. Street contains a 5-foot-tall (1.5 m) water table made of granite, which wraps around to the east wing.
At the first floor, there are two rectangular show windows and a small doorway on Madison Avenue, and two show windows flanking a larger entrance on 24th. Street.
When the tower was built, the base comprised the first through fifth stories. A large cornice was located above the fourth story, and smaller cornices above the second and fifth stories. The original ornamentation on the rest of the tower was relatively restrained, except around the clock faces.
The 1960's renovation replaced the marble between the first and fifth stories, and between the 20th. and 36th. stories, with limestone.
The "shaft" of the tower spans the 3rd. through 28th. floors. The southern façade of the tower contains windows only above the 11th. story, and the eastern facade contains windows above the 12th. story, because the former east wing was located below these floors.
On each floor, the "shaft" contains three sets of three windows per side. The exception is at the 25th. through 27th. floors, where the building's clock faces are located.
The Clock
A clock face is centered on all four sides of the tower from the 25th. through 27th. floors. Each clock face is 26.5 feet (8.1 m) in diameter, while the numerals on the clock faces are four feet (1.2 m) tall. The minute hands weigh 1,000 pounds (450 kg) and are 17 feet (5.2 m) long, while the hour hands weigh 700 pounds (320 kg) and are 13.33 feet (4.06 m) long.
The mechanism was controlled by electricity, a novelty upon the tower's completion. The master clock, which controlled the large clock faces as well as a hundred other clocks in the same complex, was located on the first floor of the former home office, and ran with a maximum error of five seconds per month.
The clock faces, which were made from reinforced concrete, were the largest in the world upon their completion. Blue glazed tiles run along the circumference of each face; in addition, there is a tiled corona at the center of each face.
The clock faces contain ornamentation by Pierre LeBrun, and include dolphins and shells on the spandrels at each face's corner, as well as marble wreaths with fruit-and-flower motifs on the faces themselves.
The Roof
The pyramidal roof of the tower is topped by a peristyle and cupola. The roof comprises the 39th. and higher floors, and is set off by a cornice at the 39th.-story level. Dormer windows protrude from the roof on the 39th. through 43rd. floors.
The 44th. floor is illuminated by two small windows on each side, located between ribs that rise to support a square viewing platform on the 45th floor. The 46th. and 47th. floors comprise a two-story-tall peristyle, supported by eight columns.
The 48th. floor contains a gold-colored aluminum cupola with eight windows. The topmost level is the 49th. floor, which consists only of a platform with a gold-colored aluminium railing.
The 41st through 45th floors are accessible only by a staircase. The viewing platform was originally publicly usable, receiving 120,000 visitors from around the world between 1909 and 1914.
The tower contains four bells within the peristyle. These include a 7,000-pound (3,200 kg) B♭ bell on the west, a 3,000-pound (1,400 kg) E♭ bell on the east, a 2,000-pound (910 kg) F♮ bell on the north, and a 1,500-pound (680 kg) G♮ bell on the south. The bells were the highest in the world at the time of their construction.
The bells are respectively struck by hammers weighing 94, 71, 61, and 54 pounds (equivalent to 43, 32, 28, and 24 kg respectively). A fifth hammer, weighing 131 pounds (59 kg), strikes the 7,000-pound bell each hour. The smaller hammers strike the bells every 15 minutes.
An eight-sided, 8-foot-wide (2.4 m) beacon is located at the top of the cupola. As designed, the white lantern is lit after 10:00 p.m., and momentarily turns off every 15 minutes when red and white lights flash the time. The beacon was one of a few broadly visible features of the New York City nighttime skyline until the mid-20th. century.
Interior of the Tower
When built, the tower section featured granite floors and metal interior furnishings, though there was very little wood trim, unlike other contemporary structures. The lower floors contained bronze grillwork and doorways, especially around the elevators, while on the upper floors, ornamental iron is used for the metalwork around the elevators.
The second-floor spaces contained offices of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, and contained white marble wainscoting, plaster cornices, marble mantels, etched-glass doors facing the executive offices, and red mahogany door, wall, and window panels.
Each of the tower's floors are up to 5,400 square feet (500 m2) in area, smaller than the floor areas of most other nearby office buildings.
During the 1960's renovation, the tower was fitted with more modern furnishings such as air conditioning, acoustic ceiling tiles, and automatic elevators, to match the new eastern wing. Marble floors were one of the few holdovers of the previous decor.
The staircase leading to the top floors of the tower also retains its original decoration, including cast-iron railings, ceramic-tile wainscoting, marble stair treads, and landings with mosaic-tile floors.
Repurposing of the Tower
Since 2015, the tower section has been a 273-room luxury hotel called the New York Edition Hotel, with per-night hotel room rates starting at $600. Most of the historic detail in the interior was removed in the individual hotel rooms, but there are some remaining vestiges, such as the original scalloped ceilings.
On the second floor is an upscale restaurant called The Clocktower, a Michelin-starred eatery headed by British chef Jason Atherton. The restaurant has a dining area, a separate bar, and a room with a billiards table, and is only accessible through the building's lobby.
One Madison Avenue
The east wing is at One Madison Avenue, and was fourteen stories tall when completed in 1955. It extends east to Park Avenue South, covering nearly the entire block, and originally had nearly 1.2 million square feet (110,000 m2) of interior space.
As of 2020, the stories above the ninth floor are being demolished, and an 18-story glass-faced office tower is being built over the roof of the ninth floor. The glass addition is separated from the roof of the 1955 structure by large diagonal steel trusses.
One Madison Avenue's internal structure consists of a steel frame. The lowest two floors contain a granite façade, while the remaining stories contain a façade of Alabama limestone, as well as stainless-steel spandrels between each window.
The lobby of One Madison Avenue was combined with that of the clock tower when the east wing was originally constructed. It consists of floors and walls made of white marble and darker-marble accents, as well as a sheet rock ceiling with lighting panels, and stainless-steel doors and trim.
A replica of the original home office's board room was built on the 11th. floor of the east wing, and featured mahogany wainscoting, a coffered ceiling, and leather covering the walls.
When the glass addition is completed in 2023 or 2024, it will contain event areas, a 15,000-square-foot (1,400 m2) food market, and a 9,000-square-foot (840 m2) tenants' lounge and fitness center.
One Madison Avenue is connected to the Metropolitan Life North Building by a preexisting tunnel. Until 2020, the buildings were also connected by a sky bridge on the eighth floor.
There were also many amenities for employees, including a library, auditorium, gymnasium, and medical and dental offices. There was also a recreational space on the roof of the home office's 23rd. Street portion, and through the larger complex's extensive system of kitchens and dining rooms, the company offered free lunch to every employee between 1908 and 1994.
Though the home office accommodated 14,500 workers by 1938, they were split up into different social hierarchies, with immigrants in service jobs, women in seamstresses' and cleaners' jobs, and native-born workers of both genders in white-collar jobs.
Building of the Tower
Plans for the proposed clock tower were filed with the New York City Department of Buildings in January 1907. At the time, the tower was to rise 690 feet (210 m) above ground, with 48 usable stories, or 50 in total.
By February 1908, thirty-one stories of the tower had been built. The lower floors of the Metropolitan Life Tower were occupied by May 1908. The tower was topped out the following month, although the tower was not completed until 1909, with one of its original tenants being the National Kindergarten Association.
The tower had cost $6.58 million, and the expanded complex had 2,800 workers at the time of the tower's completion. Metropolitan Life officials held a jubilee dinner in January 1910 to celebrate the tower's completion.
The tower was the world's tallest building until 1913, when it was surpassed by the Woolworth Building in Tribeca. A 1914 company history estimated that the entire complex could accommodate 20,000 visitors and tenants per day.
The Tower in the 21st. Century
In March 2005, SL Green Realty bought the clock tower, intending to convert it to apartments. The east wing at One Madison Avenue was part of the sale, but would not be converted to apartments, being leased to Credit Suisse First Boston until at least 2020.
In May 2007, the tower and adjacent air rights were sold for $200 million to Africa Israel Investments. In 2011, Tommy Hilfiger and a partner signed a contract to buy the clock tower for $170 million, planning to transform it into Hilfiger's first hotel, with luxury condominiums. However, Hilfiger backed off the project in September 2011.
Africa Israel then sold the tower to Marriott International in October 2011 for $165 million. Marriott announced in January 2012 that it was converting the tower to the New York Edition Hotel, one of three boutique hotels in the Edition line. The Edition hotels were sold in January 2013 to the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority for $815 million. The New York property was conveyed to its new owner on its completion. Marriott continues to manage the hotels under long-term contract, and the New York Edition Hotel opened in May 2015.
Image Enhancement
Metropolitan Life intended the tower to promote the company's image, with company president John Rogers Hegeman calling the building "a symbol of integrity".
As such, the tower was surrounded by publicity. It was featured on the front of prominent magazines such as Scientific American, as well as on the sides of corn flake boxes, coffee packets, and cars. Metropolitan Life valued the free publicity surrounding its skyscraper at over $440,000 (equivalent to $13 million in 2021). The company also published three oversized monographs with images featuring the building, in 1907, 1908, and 1914.
The tower figured prominently in Metropolitan Life's advertising for many years, illustrated with a light beaming from a lantern at the top of its spire and the slogan "The Light That Never Fails".
While other life insurance companies used sculptural representations for their respective symbols, Metropolitan Life used the building itself to represent the company's work and ideals.
Critical Appraisal of the Building
Though not structurally distinctive, the Metropolitan Life Tower nevertheless was highly scrutinized. The design of the tower won critical acclaim within the American architectural profession.
The American Institute of Architects' New York chapter called the clock tower "the most meritorious work of the year" upon its completion. The writer Roberta Moudry observed that "the tower appeared from Madison Square Park as an entity unto itself", distinct from other tall structures nearby, and at the time of its construction, "served as a timely large-scale public declaration of civic stature and ethical responsibility".
The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission described the original home office's design as doing "much to establish Metropolitan Life in the eyes and the mind of the public."
In a company history book written shortly after the building's completion, Metropolitan Life characterized the structure as "the most beautiful home office in the world".
Members of the public also viewed the clock tower positively, with one anonymous reviewer calling the clock "a reassuring melody to hear on a trustworthy schedule". One newspaper columnist stated that when the clocks' hands were taken apart for cleaning in 1937, "letters poured in, asking what went on".
On the 11th. December 1984, to celebrate the building's 75th. anniversary, the United States Postal Service issued a pictorial cancellation that depicted the Metropolitan Life Tower, which was available only on that day.
Not strictly a Finsec event, but here's a few photos of the Service and Food Workers' Union Nga Ringa Tota rally in Wellington on International Cleaners Day.
The 'Fair Deal for Cleaners' campaign that this rally is part of aims to provide a voice to the low-waged largely immigrant female workforce, in cities across Australia and New Zealand, who are calling on big property owners to support decency in their workplaces.

Neon sign for the former Aubry Cleaners in downtown Saginaw, MI. Another business now occupies this building, but they have retained the old sign. This is located about two blocks from the Savoy Bar & Grill sign. The details on both this and the Savoy sign are fantastic - something you just don't see in commercial signage anymore.

"Better study hard, if not you'll grow up to become a street cleaner."
That was something that was told to me a long time ago, more than just once. It bounced around in my head and my childhood innocence wouldn't have any of it.
Back when I was small, I saw everybody fairly. I had no concept of wealth or status, no understanding of the problems that grown-ups face, no care for what the future might bring me. Well, apart from the fact that the decision I made to study or not would result in me getting a refreshing scoop of ice cream or equally refreshing slash of the cane.
Because of that few experiences when growing up, I never pass up the opportunity of greeting the cleaners in my battalion buildings, or thanking the ones that clear my plates, bowls and trays at hawker centres and fast food joints. It's just manners. We're all human.
On Saturday 18th I walked down the ward looking for something to sketch. This is what I found. The trolley was being used to hold the door open. The cleaner had been very assiduous in cleaning our room.
An Eastern Cleaner Clingfish (Cochleoceps orientalis) on kelp. Bare Island, Botany Bay, NSW
Clingfish have a sucking disc on their underside with which they can anchor themselves to plants and other objects. Cleaner Clingfish are named for their habit of cleaning parasites from the skin of other larger fishes. These tiny fish are easy to approach and photograph, apparently confident their camouflage and tiny size will keep them from being spotted. They first came to my attention only this year, so the strategy obviously works. Now I know what I am looking for, suddenly I am seeing them everywhere. I have seen them cleaning Red Morwong, Eastern Talma, and even a Port Jackson Shark. On occasion they also attach to divers.
Training was a very important part of life when you worked for Eastern Electricity and the establishments at Harold Hill (for engineering apprentice training) then at Essendon in Hertfordshire were well utilised.
Essendon Place, near Hatfield, Hertfordshire, UK, was bought by Eastern Electricity in 1961 to bring together the various training facilities for office based staff (as opposed to industrial staff) previously developed by the pre-nationalisation undertakings and, following the addition of a new bedroom wing and sales training shop, was opened in 1962.
All new shop staff spent two weeks learning their trade. This didn't just involve the techniques of selling goods, but how they worked, how electricity was generated and distributed and the organisation of the industry.
This is an early 1960s vacuum cleaner (it would not be appropriate to call it a "Hoover") especially put together with see-through panels so that the staff could see how it works. Shop staff training in depth was done away with at privatisation.
The demonstration vacuum cleaner was donated by me to the Science Museum and was still on display in the basement last time I checked a couple of years ago.
