Chrysler Building
Though its reign as the world's tallest building was brief—less
than a year, until the Empire State Building surpassed it—the
Chrysler Building has, in the eyes of many, never surrendered its
title as the prettiest NYC skyscraper (clearly a subjective distinction).
Commissioned by Walter P. Chrysler as the headquarters for his car
company—no longer housed here—the art deco tower was designed by
Brooklyn-born architect William Van Alen. Height: 1,046 feet
