Chrysler Building

The Chrysler Building is an iconic skyscraper located in New York City. It was completed in 1930 and stands at 319 meters (1,047 feet) tall, making it one of the tallest buildings in the world at the time of its completion. The building is located on the east side of Manhattan at the intersection of 42nd Street and Lexington Avenue.

The building was designed by the architect William Van Alen, and it was built for the automobile company Chrysler. The building's design is considered to be a prime example of Art Deco architecture. The building's façade is covered in stainless steel, giving it a shiny, metallic appearance. The most striking feature of the building is its spire, which is made of steel and was added as a secret element during the building's construction. The building was the tallest in the world for less than a year, before being surpassed by the Empire State Building.

The building has 77 floors, and it was originally used as an office building. The lobby and public spaces of the building are considered to be some of the most beautiful and luxurious of the time, and they are still open to the public today. The building's crown is adorned with seven radiating terraced arches, and it is lit at night, making it one of the most recognizable buildings in New York City's skyline.

The Chrysler Building is considered a New York City landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is still an active building, housing offices and other commercial spaces.
