The Metropolitan life company tower was built in 1909 by a man named Napolean LeBrun. The Building stands at 700 feet (213m) and has 50 to 52 floors in it. The building was done in Ecole des Beaux Arts style architecture. The Building was made of Tuckahoe marble and lateron redone with limestone. The Building is beige and gray. Also it has lights on the top. The tower has many ovals, squares, and rectangular kinds of shapes. The ornament on this tower would have to be its clocks and the lights on the top of it. When we first saw this tower we thought it looked nice and looked very different because of the number of clocks. Our favorite feature was the clock because we have never seen a tower with a clock in New York. If we could change one thing we would make the clocks lights different so it would stand out even more and make it a lot more colorful.
