1930 Chrysler Building
Built with the original intention of becoming the tallest building in the world, it only remained so for eleven months until it was surpassed by the Empire State Building in 1931.

Unfortunately, the building is not open to the public and you can only admire it from the outside, perhaps best with a drink in your hand on the rooftop tour. CLICK HERE
