The
Empire State Building is situated in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, on Fifth
Avenue between West 33rd and 34th Streets. It has 102 stories and is measured
to be 1,454 feet including the rod. The 29th –tallest building in
the world was said to be a cultural icon of America. Though it was made out as
a competition of skycrapers at its time, it aided to the Great Depression
experienced by the state on 1930s where 3400 everyday workers were able to work
with great pay and being the tallest building at that time (for 40 years after World
Trade Center), it gave sense of pride to its citizens.
