The Chrysler Building


The Chrysler Building was founded in 1928. William Van Alen was the designer of the masterpiece. It was worlds tallest building during 1930 to 1931. Beat the level of 40 wall street. Reaching 77 floors the height of the building is 925 feet. The location of the building is on Lexington avenue. Some interesting facts that i have found out about the building is the there are 32 elevators throughout the building. The renovation of the building took place in 1978-1979. the top of the building was constucted by steel to support the spire. I enjoy the buildings apperence on the top. I like the lighting of the building as well and its shapes.
