New York - Empire State Building 
Along with the Statue of Liberty, The Empire State Building is New York's most famous landmark. Its 86th floor observatory remains a hugely popular vantage point to view Manhattan.
The 381 m tall, 102-storey building was the tallest in the world until the 1 World Trade Center tower rose higher 41 years later. Topped with a mooring mast (image) for airships, the Empire State Building became immediately a landmark and a symbol for NYC when it opened in 1931.
The building is clad in Indiana limestone and granite, with the mullions lined in shiny aluminum. The spandrels are sandblasted to blend their tone to that of the windows, visually creating the vertical striping on the facade. The high entrance lobby is lined in marble imported from Europe and sports an imposing silhouette image of the building itself.
