Empire State Building

Posted by Steve Kravitz (Florence NJ, United States) on 4 May 2006 in Architecture.

Is 75 years old this week. The current tallest US building was constructed in just over one year. It was started during the depression era as a "work" project.

Great cityscape. I feel little bit of tilt required for this image.

Oh yes, I want to see this skyline with my own eyes one day!
It's a real masterpiece of architecture!

good photo, but the current tallest US building is the Sears Tower in Chicago, which was not started during the Depression as a "work" project
