This week, we journey to Hell's Kitchen to uncover the story of Manhattan's infamous "Green Monster," the McGraw-Hill Building. Once reviled for its shocking blue-green color and horizontal design, this Art Deco icon has a history as colorful as its facade. We'll reveal the insane 110-story skyscraper that was first planned for the site and unearth the building's secret role as the 1939 birthplace of the company that would become Marvel Comics. From sitting completely vacant for years to facing modern foreclosure, this is the wild survival story of a true New York landmark.
