The Chrysler Building
Manhattan's Art Deco crown
The Chrysler Building rises 1,046 feet (319 m) in midtown Manhattan, an Art Deco masterpiece completed in 1930 and briefly the tallest building in the world before the Empire State Building surpassed it. Its gleaming stainless-steel crown of radiating arches and triangular windows, inspired by automobile design, is one of the most admired skyscraper tops ever built.
