Empire State Building
The narrative of the Empire State Building is one that will stay with you forever, from the beginning of construction to its modern-day popularity. Construction on the Empire State Structure, which was to be the world's first 100-story building, started on March 17, 1930, with the goal of completing it in a decade. But, instead, construction was finished in a record-breaking 1 year and 45 days.
In addition to being stunning on the exterior, the Empire State Building is an architectural marvel that is well-known across the world.
The Empire State Building is 1,250 feet (380 meters) tall at its highest point, on the 102nd floor. The structure's total height, including the spire and antenna, is a whopping 1,454 feet (443 meters). It is now the fourth-tallest structure in New York City, the sixth-tallest structure in the United States, and the 43rd-tallest structure on the planet. Check this out.
There are 1,872 stairs between the ground level and our 102nd story observatory. The amount of labor involved here is significant. When it comes to reaching the top of the Empire State Building and taking in the vistas, there are a whopping 73 Otis elevators, so you won't have to worry about working up a sweat to get there. Our annual Empire State Building Annual Run Up, one of the world's most renowned tower races, takes place here at the Empire State Building. Competitors make the ascent on foot.
Researchers at Cornell University conducted an analysis of millions of photographs in 2011. They came to the conclusion that the Empire State Building is the most photographed structure on the planet.
