    My understanding is that a number of the highrise metalworkers were First Nations people (Mohawk, Onondaga & others).

    Note typo in title transcription: "floor" not "filor"
    Presumably this is the Met Life Tower
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolitan_Life_Insurance_Company...
    "The South Building's tower was designed by the architectural firm of Napoleon LeBrun & Sons and erected between 1905 and 1909."
    "The 31st through 38th floors comprise the tower's "capital". The 31st through 33rd floors are arranged as a loggia with arcades containing five arches on each side."

    The address is
    1 Madison Avenue
    Manhattan, New York City
