[post_page_title]New York’s first skyscraper[/post_page_title]
The New York City skyline is full of skyscrapers today, but back when it was first built, there was just the Empire State Building. Tourists visited the city just to see the massive tower.
The 102 story, 1,250 ft. skyscraper was completed in 1931, and was the tallest building in the world for almost 40 years. In this picture, which was taken in 1941, the Empire State Building towers above everything around it, giving it an almost eerie, science fiction feeling.
