kateoplis: Opening day of the Empire State Building, 1931, from New York: Portrait of a City The empire state building has always been one of my favorite buildings in the world. I used to love driving by it on the way to my Grandparents house, drew it on get well cards for friends.  The store of how it was built is amazing. So many people worked very hard to get it built and it was built in an amazingly short period of time - 13.5 months. One of my favorite NY iconic landmarks for sure.
