The Chrysler building was designed by an architect named William Van Alen. It was constructed on September 19, 1928. During this time, the passion in constructing the tallest building became an intensive competition. 77 floors were built with 32 elevators. Krupp KA2 Enduro steel and granite steel was used in order to construct the ideal building.
The Chrysler building is an example of art deco architecture. It is now 125ft. in height and 58.4 meters. Pamela and I both were amazed as we saw the design of the building's unique style. But we also wondered if we were able to throw a penny from the roof would it be able to kill a human life? Now that is a very interesting question. The Chrysler building happens to be the second tallest building today in New York.
