The Chrysler Building: an Art Deco architectural jewel in the Big Apple🛕

There's no doubt that the Chrysler Building is one of New York's most iconic buildings!💬 This iconic 77-story skyscraper is known for its distinctive stainless steel spire and Art Deco design. Here are some of its architectural features, history and things that stand out about its construction:

🔹The Chrysler Building was built in 1930 and was the tallest building in the world for a brief period before being surpassed by the Empire State Building.
🔹It was designed by architect William Van Alen and commissioned by Walter P. Chrysler, founder of the Chrysler automobile company.
🔹The design of the Chrysler Building is a mixture of architectural styles, with an Art Deco base and an Egyptian-influenced stainless steel spire. The spire is composed of seven stainless steel arches that gradually taper upward, culminating in a stainless steel pinnacle.
🔹The main entrance to the building features an impressive bronze door and glass canopy. The lobby is also impressive, with Italian marble, granite walls and ceilings decorated with Art Deco motifs.
🔹The building was in competition with another skyscraper, the Bank of Manhattan Trust Building, for the title of tallest building in the world.

Van Alen designed a spire that could be assembled inside the building in secret, so that the Bank of Manhattan Trust could not copy his design.😎
