"But the building that (literally) overshadows them all is the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower, also known as One Madison Avenue — not to be confused with the MetLife Building that looms over Grand Central or One Madison, a new luxury-condo building one block south developed by Related. With one oversize clock on each façade and a spire inspired by St. Mark’s Campanile in Venice, the Met Life Tower has dominated the corner of East 24th Street for more than a century."

Barr, Jason; Tassier, Troy; and Trendafilov, Rossen. Bedrock Depth and the Formation of the Manhattan Skyline, 1890-1915, Fordham University, August 2010. Accessed December 30, 2023. "The conventional wisdom holds that Manhattan developed two business centers—downtown and midtown—because bedrock is close to the surface in these locations, with a bedrock 'valley' deep below the surface in between.... We find that bedrock depths had very little influence on the creation of separate business districts; rather its poly-centric development was due to residential and manufacturing patterns, and public transportation hubs. We do find evidence, however, that bedrock depths influenced the placement of skyscrapers within business districts."

History of the New York Life Building, Madison Square Park Conservancy, August 8, 2014. Accessed December 30, 2023. "On the same piece of land that once housed the grand first and second Madison Square Gardens, on Madison Avenue between 26th and 27th streets, rose the New York Life Building. Famed architect Cass Gilbert (1859-1934), an early proponent of skyscrapers, was awarded the commission to design the building. Erected between 1926 and 1928, Gilbert’s 34-story, 617 foot tall, neo-gothic office building eventually became one of the New York skyline’s most iconic buildings.... The building’s recognizable pyramidal roof, originally plated in gold leaf, eventually eroded and was replaced with gold colored tile."

Neighborhoods in New York City do not have official status, and their boundaries are not specifically set by the city. (There are a number of Community Boards, whose boundaries are officially set, but these are fairly large and generally contain a number of neighborhoods and the neighborhood map Archived September 15, 2012, at the Wayback Machine issued by the Department of City Planning only shows the largest ones.) Because of this, the definition of where neighborhoods begin and end is subject to a variety of forces, including the efforts of real estate concerns to promote certain areas, the use of neighborhood names in media news reports, and the everyday usage of people.
Manhattan Appellate Courthouse, New York City Department of Citywide Administrative Services. Accessed December 30, 2023. "The architect James Brown Lord was given the then unheard of sum of $700,000 to construct the courthouse. Responding to the 'City Beautiful' movement, Lord was instructed to use a large percentage of the construction budget for decoration. Despite spending a third of the total cost on decorative features, like statues and murals, he managed to complete the building under budget by over $60,000."

John Freeman Gill (2012-04-01). "Flatiron District/Living In: Profile, Always High, Keeps Current Too". New York Times. The boundaries of the Flatiron can be a subject of disagreement, but the district generally runs from the Avenue of the Americas to Park Avenue South between 14th and 23rd Streets, excluding the blocks adjacent to Union Square. Still, as often happens when a neighborhood becomes popular, some see its borders as expanded. The Flatiron 23rd Street Partnership...places the northern boundary in the upper 20s, an area some call NoMad, or North of Madison Square Park.
