The progression of how the Empire State Building was built
The Empire State Building is a 102-story Art Deco skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. The building has a roof height of 1,250 feet (380 m) and stands a total of 1,454 feet (443.2 m) tall and was regarded as the world’s tallest building until the construction of the World Trade Center in 1970.
The photograph shows how progressively fast the building was developed; it took architects just one year and 45 days to complete it. This has put the building into history books as it was named one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World by the American Society of Civil Engineers.
