The Empire State Building was completed in 1931 and held the title of tallest building in the world for over 40 years. Can you believe it was built in just 1 year and 45 days? That's like building a Legos tower in record time - except instead of blocks, they used 57,000 tons of steel!
But what's really cool about the Empire State Building is its art deco design. The building's exterior is covered in limestone and granite, with a distinctive champagne bottle shape that's become an iconic symbol of New York City. It's like a work of art that you can walk inside and explore!
