Madison Avenue
Die Madison Avenue ist eine Straße im Stadtbezirk Manhattan in New York City. Sie verläuft als Einbahnstraße vom Madison Square (an der 23rd Street) im Süden bis zum Harlem River Drive (an der 142nd Street), im Norden, wo sie zur Madison Avenue Bridge wird. Sie befindet sich zwischen den Parallelstraßen Park Avenue und Fifth Avenue. Sie verläuft damit durch Midtown, die Upper East Side, East Harlem und Harlem. Sie ist nach dem Madison Square benannt, dessen Name auf James Madison, vierter Präsident der Vereinigten Staaten, zurückgeht. Die Straße hat eine Länge von 9,7 km.
Die Madison Avenue war nicht Teil des ursprünglichen Commissioners’ Plan von 1811, sondern wurde erst 1836 durch die Anstrengungen des Politikers und Anwaltes Samuel B. Ruggles gebaut.
Die Madison Avenue ist bekannt für diverse Werbeagenturen, die sich in dieser Straße niedergelassen haben. Der Name Madison Avenue ist heute auch ein Metonym für die amerikanische Werbeindustrie.

The Morgan Library & Museum (formerly the Pierpont Morgan Library) is a museum and research library located on Madison Avenue at East 36th Street in Manhattan, New York City. It was founded in 1907 to house the private library of J.P. Morgan, which included, besides the manuscripts and printed books, some of them in rare bindings, his collection of prints and drawings. The original library building was built from 1902-1907 and was designed by Charles McKim of the firm McKim, Mead and White, with sculptures by Edward Clark Potter. It cost $1.2 million. The library was made a public institution in 1924 by his son, in accordance with Morgan's will. An annex building, designed by Benjamin Wistar Morris, was added in 1927-28, and a modernist entrance building, designed by the Renzo Piano Building Workshop and Beyer Blinder Belle, was added in 2006.

The Church of the Incarnation, Episcopal (Manhattan) is located at 205-209 Madison Avenue at the corner of 35th Street in the Murray Hill neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. The church was built in 1864-65 and was designed by Emlen T. Littel in Gothic revival style. It was burned down in a fire in 1882 and was rebuilt and expanded by David Jardine, with a spire added in 1896 by Heins and LaFarge to Jardine's design. The rectory, now used as a parish house, was built in 1868-69, designed by Robert Mook, and was rebuilt and given a new facade in neo-Jacobean style in 1905-06 by Edward P. Casey. The bulding was renovated in 1991 by Jan Hird Pokorny. It is a NYC landmark and on the National Register of Historic Places.
