NYFE Summary

The company first built a large rear extension behind its older offices. It then demolished the old front building and continued the new design toward Broadway, creating a long structure with a clock tower at one end.

Stone eagles above the Broadway front represent the insurance company. Garlands, lion heads and panels of carved leaves decorate the pale marble walls.
