VINTAGE VIEWS OF NEW YORK .

Chrysler Building, New York City
.
The Chrysler Building With it's shining spire of Nirosta steel literally scraping the sky, reaching a height of 77 stories - 1,046 feet, 4 3/4 inches, the Chrysler Building takes it's rightful place among the wonders of the modern world. It has a dominating location in the Grand Central Zone, Lexington Avenue and 42nd Street. From the Observatory on the 71st floor over 1,600 square miles are visible. The excavation was begun November 11, 1928, and on April 1, 1930, 17 months later, the building was occupied by the tenants. The Chrysler Building occupies a plot of 37,555 sq. ft.; has a content of 14,300,000 cubic feet. The building contains more than 1,000,000 sq. ft. of office space and is planned to house and serve comfortably 15,000 tenants and employees, a population equal to that of each of one hundred good sized American towns. The Chrysler Building and the view from the Observatory, are among the most striking things in New York to see. .
