The Empire State

The Empire State Building is a 102 story landmark Art Deco skyscraper in New York City at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and West 34th Street. Its name is derived from the nickname for the state of New York, The Empire State. It stood as the world’s tallest building for more than forty years, from its completion in 1931 until construction of the World Trade Center. But after the destruction of the world Trade Center in 2001, once again it became the tallest building in New York City.
