The Manhattan Life Insurance Building was a 348 ft (106 m) tower at 64-66 Broadway in New York City completed in 1894 to the designs of the architects of Kimball & Thompson and slightly extended north in 1904 making its new address 64-70 Broadway. It was the first skyscraper to pass 330 ft (100 m) in Manhattan, and was demolished to make way for the Irving Trust Company Building (now One Wall Street) completed in 1931 and extended in 1965, that served as headquarters for the former Irving Trust Bank. The exact date of the demolition is disputed, but 1930 and 1963 have both been cited. Link- http://manhattanlifeinsurancebuilding.blogspot.com/ (special thanks to). |
