Completed in 1930, this towering edifice was the first construction project to rise higher than the Eiffel Tower. This leadership was to be short-lived, however, as The Empire State Building was built 1,048 feet taller only a few months later. The Chrysler Building still holds people's interest both culturally and architecturally. Walter Chrysler commissioned its construction in honor of his...
The Chrysler Building is an Art Deco style skyscraper in NYC, located on the east side of Manhattan at the intersection of 42nd St & Lexington Ave. Standing at 1,047 ft (319 m), it was the world's tallest building for 11 months before it was surpassed by the Empire State Building in 1931.
Automotive tycoon Walter Chrysler wanted to build the tallest building in the world, and when this stainless-steel skyscraper opened in 1930, it was—at least until the Empire State Building was completed a few months later. His edifice may no longer have the height advantage, but architecture critics (and many New Yorkers) give it the edge on style, thanks to the automotive themes that rev up...
After its completion in 1929, William van Alen’s 77-story Chrysler Building was the world’s tallest building at 925 feet for just a brief period. A proposed redesign of the Bank of Manhattan tower threatened the Chrysler Building by a mere two feet, so Walter P. Chrysler hastily called for a massive spire to be erected. His building quickly became 1046 feet tall. A few months later, however,...
Built as Chrysler Corporation headquarters in 1930 (they moved out decades ago), this is perhaps the 20th century’s most romantic architectural achievement, especially at night when the lights in its triangular openings play off its steely crown. As you admire its facade, be sure to note the gargoyles reaching out from the upper floors, looking for all the world like Streamline-Gothic hood...
An absolute landmark! Shame it's not totally open to the public as it's a must-see and we were fortunate to pass nearby on bus tours
If you want a closer look at the Chrysler Building, visit the lobby of this stunning, Art Deco skyscraper!
The great thing about this is that it’s free...we were taken aback by the richness of the lobby’s Art Deco ambience, fixtures, decorative panel inlays, lighting...
An epic sight to see in real life. One of the best sites in New York. Worth walking up to. Great place to take photos
By far the most beautiful of New York's high buildings. When I got home I couldn't believe how many photos I had taken of this incredible icon - from every angle and in every light. Don't walk past. Go into the entrance lobby and marvel...
Probably one of the most beautiful skyscrapers in the world. The Art Deco style sets it apart and the eagle gargoyles are one of a kind. I hear when the building opened in 1931, the public could go up to the 71st floor as it...

This Art Deco masterpiece briefly held the title of world's tallest building for some few months before the completion of the Empire State Building in 1931. It was originally built for the automotive icon's corporate offices, and today it still contains decorative pieces in automotive fashion, including eagle heads and hood ornament wings. Except for the glorious shiny steel needle crowning the...
