On the heels of the roaring 20’s, the Great Depression

soon set in and America’s optimism was at an all-time

low. During this time, America’s labor force was at its

highest supply and the value of the dollar was cut in

half over night. Ironically, it was this combination of

events that made a construction project of this

proportion possible.

Designed by Gregory Johnson and his architectural

rm Shreve, Lamb and Harmon, the Empire State Building

celebrates the Art Deco movement, exemplifying this

style to the highest degree. Often regarded as the

symbol of American Skyscrapers, a great deal of

thought and consideration was demonstrated during

the 16 redesigns of the building’s design. After all, this

would be the world’s rst building to touch the sky with

over 100 stories.

Built on the previous site of the famous Waldorf Astoria

Hotel, the construction took seven million man hours

and had a feverish pace of 4½ oors per week.

Iron workers erected 60 thousand tons of riveted steel

frames into a series of stacked boxes. They became

known as “Sky-walkers” due to the dizzying heights

they worked at – heights never previously attempted.

On May 1st, 1931, the building opened after only 410

days of construction and remained the tallest building

in the world until 1972 when the World Trade Center

opened. The building is a member of the “World

Federation of Great Towers” and has been named

one of the 7 wonders of the modern world.

Points of Interest

The observation tower at the top of the Empire State

Building was originally intended to be a dock for mooring

airships in an effort to attract international travel. However,

after several futile attempts at mooring a Zeppelin in

the strong winds present at 1250 feet, the idea was

thoughtfully scrapped. On a foggy morning of July 1945,

a U.S. Airforce B-25 bomber crashed into Empire State

Building’s 78th & 79

th oors tragically killing 14 people.

As a true testament to the quality of the Empire State

Building it was reopened just two days later.
