Originally planned to be 100 stories, the North Building was never completed as originally planned due to funding problems following the Depression. Construction started in 1929, just before the onset of the Great Depression. The North Building was built in three stages on the site of the second Madison Square Presbyterian Church. The building is bordered by East 24th Street, Madison Avenue, East 25th Street and Park Avenue South, and was formerly connected by a sky bridge and tunnel to the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower just south of it.
The Metropolitan Life North Building, now known as Eleven Madison, is a 30-story art deco skyscraper in the Flatiron District adjacent to Madison Square Park in Manhattan, New York City, at 11-25 Madison Avenue.
