Building
Architect: Shreve, Lamb and Harmon
Main contractor: Starrett Brother and Eken

The main task was to meet the specified amount, so the appearance of the building was given the least attention. The spire of the skyscraper, made in Art Deco style, was originally designed as a berthing mast and parking place for airships. The one hundred and second floor was first a landing platform, on it there was a special ladder.

However, after several attempts to lead to skyscrapers, the airship proved that it is difficult and dangerous because of the strong rising air flows arising from the ogrome heights of the building.
In 1952 0, a skyscraper was attached to a large television tower

It is built on a two-story concrete foundation, and the steel frame weighs 54,400 tons (the total weight of the building is 331,000 tons).
