The Majestic Empire State Building

Описание: The Empire State Building is an iconic 102-story Art Deco skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. The building was designed by Shreve, Lamb & Harmon and built from 1930 to 1931. Its name is derived from "Empire State", the nickname of the state of New York.

The building has a roof height of 1,250 feet (380 m) and stands a total of 1,454 feet (443.2 m) tall, including its antenna. It was the world's tallest building from its completion in 1931 until the completion of the North Tower of the World Trade Center in 1970. After the September 11 attacks in 2001, it became the tallest building in New York City again until the completion of One World Trade Center in 2012. It is currently the fourth-tallest building in New York City, the sixth-tallest in the United States, and the 43rd-tallest in the world.

The Empire State Building is a popular tourist destination, with observatories on the 86th and 102nd floors offering panoramic views of the city. The building is also lit up in different colors to celebrate holidays and special events.
