this limestone pre-world war ii art deco masterpiece is one of the greatest landmarks of all time and new york's number one tourist attraction. the big apple might not seem as big without its 1,454-foot, 102-story skyscraper. the empire state building is now just the fourth tallest in the years, it was number one. it became even more famous when king kong climbed it like a coconut tree and swatted at planes as if they were flies, and who hasn't imagined what the world would look like from the 102nd floor? here are a few superlatives. it was the first building of its kind to have over 100 floors. it has over 70 elevators. would you believe that way back in 1799 the tract of land on which the empire state building sits was farmland? excavation began in january of 1930. over 3,000 construction workers, many of them immigrants and native americans, worked on it. passersby couldn't help but stop and stare skyward as the steel skeleton grew to heights there was also a bit of competition going on. 3 buildings--the empire, the chrysler building, and 40 wall street--were all under construction around the same time to see which would be the tallest.
