  • PRESERVATION CHICAGO the New York Life Insurance Building
    2 0 0 6 PRESERVATION CHICAGO Chicago’s Seven Most Threatened Buildings The New York Life Insurance Building Address: 39 South LaSalle Street Date: 1894 Architect: William Lebaron Jenney Style: Chicago School Skyscraper CHRS Rating: Orange National Register: Not Listed Overview: George Orwell said in Animal Farm that all animals are equal, except some animals are more equal than others. The same could be argued that in Chicago, depending on how much clout one has, some Landmarks are more equal than others. Based on some recent proposals for downtown skyscraper projects, a separate and unequal set of standards has revealed itself regarding how the Commission on Chicago Landmarks considers changes to existing Landmarked buildings and Landmark Districts. Case in point is the current redevelopment plan proposed for the New York Life Building, one of William LeBaron Jenney’s seminal early skyscrapers. History: William LeBaron Jenney revolutionized world architecture with the development of the first skyscraper, the Home Insurance Building in Chicago in 1884. His pioneering use of the steel skeleton frame, rather than the thick heavy masonry bearing walls that were then the norm, set the standard for modern high-rise construction that is still in use today. With the demolition of the Home Insurance Building in 1931, the New York Life Building became the last remaining example of Jenney’s early steel frame skyscraper construction and is the closest link with the ground-breaking technology of Jenney’s Home Insurance Building. Furthermore, the role of Chicago as the “insurance broker to the West” cannot be understated, and this building serves as a key link to that history.

  • We Went to the Top of New York's Latest Skyscraper to Find out How It's Being Built
    We went to the top of New York's latest skyscraper to find out how it's being built William Fierman and Hollis Johnson June 3, 2016 The view from the unfinished south face of 45 E. 22nd St., now the tallest building between Midtown and the Financial District. Bruce Eichner very much enjoys showing off his latest building. We're in rarefied air, 777 feet above Manhattan's Beaux-Arts Flatiron District — well higher than the golden tops of the Metropolitan Life Tower and New York Life Building a few blocks north. "We're actually looking down on Rupert Murdoch's three floors at the top of that tower there," said Eichner, founder of the real estate development firm The Continuum Company, with a rather professional smile. He's pointing down to the top of One Madison, which, until about a month ago, owned the airspace above Madison Square Park. No more. All photos by Hollis Johnson unless noted. The building as seen from the corner of Park Avenue and 22nd Street. In his late 60s, Eichner is a thin man in a pinstripe suit, round tortoise shell glasses, and a local's accent. His company is already responsible for several New York skyscrapers, two condominium towers in Miami, and a casino in Las Vegas. He likes to share the big numbers surrounding his newest project, throwing around phrases like "five hundred thousand tons of rebar," or "two thousand yards of concrete," or "a one-million-pound tuned-mass damper" at an unsuspecting reporter. He takes great joy in watching me copy them down.

  • Crown of Gold: Roof Gleams Anew Atop N.Y. Landmark
    Durability + Design - Crown of Gold: Roof Gleams Anew Atop N.Y. Landmark The Journal of Architectural Coatings A Product of Technology Publishing JPCL/PaintSquare | D+D | PWC | Paint BidTracker Crown of Gold: Roof Gleams Anew Atop N.Y. Landmark From D+D, September 2010 By Joe Maty Editor, Durability + Design New York Life Insurance Company has successfully built an indelible brand identity by calling itself “The Company You Keep.” Perhaps equally firmly etched into public consciousness of the venerable Empire State-based concern is its landmark headquarters building on Madison Avenue, a Gothic- revival, Indiana limestone edifice designed in 1926 by the legendary Cass Gilbert. The towering structure has loomed large in the company’s media imagery for many years. No doubt it’s the building the company will keep, considering its intimate connection with the corporate identity. Recently, the company also demonstrated that the building’s roof it is surely determined to keep—intact in all its gold-gilt glory, a gem glittering amid Gotham’s steel, stone, and concrete canyons. New York Life summoned The Gilders’ Studio Inc., based in Olney, Md., to formulate and execute a restoration and regilding program for the pyramidal, lantern-topped roof, composed of 25,000 gilded tiles. The job entailed an in- depth evaluation of materials and methods to return the roof and lantern to their former, glittering appearance. The company also serves as construction manager for the project. The upper section of the building, showing the gilded roof following restoration Michael Kramer, president of The Gilders Studio, said the roof is the largest exterior gold-leaf structure in the Photos courtesy of The Gilders’ Studio.

Final Landmark Recommendation adopted by the Commission on Chicago Landmarks, January 10, 2013 CITY OF CHICAGO Rahm Emanuel, Mayor Department of Housing and Economic Development Andrew J. Mooney, Commissioner The Commission on Chicago Landmarks, whose nine members are appointed by the Mayor and City Council, was established in 1968 by city ordinance. The Commission is re- sponsible for recommending to the City Council which individual buildings, sites, objects, or districts should be designated as Chicago Landmarks, which protects them by law. The landmark designation process begins with a staff study and a preliminary summary of information related to the potential designation criteria. The next step is a preliminary vote by the landmarks commission as to whether the proposed landmark is worthy of consideration. This vote not only initiates the formal designation process, but it places the review of city per- mits for the property under the jurisdiction of the Commission until a final landmark recom- mendation is acted on by the City Council. This Landmark Designation Report is subject to possible revision and amendment dur- ing the designation process. Only language contained within a designation ordinance adopted by the City Council should be regarded as final. 2 MUTUAL INSURANCE BUILDING (ORIGINALLY EMERMAN BUILDING) 4750 N. SHERIDAN RD.
