NYFE Summary
The company behind this tower sold guarantees that people and businesses would meet their financial obligations. Its headquarters was among the city's early steel-framed skyscrapers, with foundations engineered for a narrow, valuable site.
Giant columns frame the lower floors. Sculpted figures above the entrance turn an insurance office into a small display of public architectural sculpture. Higher up, repeated windows lead to a broad, projecting cornice.
