HISTORICALLY YOURS

During the late 1920s, there was a race to build the world’s tallest building. While the Chrysler Building and 40 Wall Street’s Bank of Manhattan were the main competitors, in August of 1929, GM executive John J. Raskob and former NY Governor Al Smith announced plans for the Empire State Building. At 1,250 feet, the Empire State Building became the world’s tallest building and maintained that title until the World Trade Center was built 40 years later.
