AMAZING FACTS ABOUT THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING

LONGEST WORLD RECORD HOLDER

The Empire State Building is one of the most interesting buildings in New York City!

The Empire State Building was the tallest building in the world between 1931 and 1972.  No other building has held the record for such a long period of time since the Strasbourg Cathedral lost the title of “World’s Tallest Building” in 1874.

In the background of the image above, you can see the Chrysler Building, which was the tallest building in the world for a short time before the Empire State Building was completed.
