On the right is the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Building, completed in 1894. Over the years, Metropolitan Life introduced a number of notable innovations in the life insurance industry. In 1879 the company began writing "industrial" life insurance (small-amount policies offered at low prices to industrial workers) and rose within a year to preeminence in this important new insurance field.
