The Hedden Construction Company was a prolific builder based in Newark, New Jersey in the early 20th century. Some of the finest buildings in New Jersey, New York City, and other large eastern cities were built by the company.[1] Among the most notable is the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower in New York City, the world's tallest building from 1909 to 1913 and home to the Hedden Construction Company's main offices located on the 36th and 37th floors. During this prosperous period over $40,000,000 in construction contracts and payments were collected by the firm.
