All these photographs show the
construction of the Empire State Building. It is a 102-story skyscraper
in New York City that is located at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and
West 34th Street. Being 1472 feet (448 metres) tall, this was the
tallest building in the world for over 40 years since its completion in
1931. Only in 1972 when the North Tower of the World Trade Center was
built, the Empire State Building was deposed as the world’s highest
skyscraper.
