Manhattan: Madison Avenue - 24th Street (East)

1930; 1937

(1) Madison Ave., east side, from 24th to 25th Streets, seen across Madison Square from Fifth Ave. September 23, 1930. P. L. Sperr. (2) The same, at a later date. This view shows the 20-story Madison Ave. Building (No. 21-25); the Farragut Building (No. 19); and the 15-story Pullman Building, at, adjoining and south of the S.E. corner of East 25th Street in the process of being dismantled internally. They will be completely razed in what is considered to be one of the largest demolition operations to be undertaken in years. It is being carried out by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co., owners of the entire block of property, which includes the 16-story Metropolitan Life Annex Building, at the N.W. corner of East 24th Street (right). In a release issued by the Metropolitan, it states that no plans are being made for the immediate improvement of the land, but that it is being cleared for future use. This view is taken from Fifth Ave., and across Madison Square Park. June 9, 1937. P. L. Sperr. (3) The same, showing a more comprehensive view of Madison Square Park. June 9, 1937. P. L. Sperr.
