The Empire State Building is a 102-story Art Deco skyscraper that rises 1,454 feet (443.2 m) over New York City.
When completed in 1931, it became the tallest building in the world and kept that record for nearly 40 years. Its main roof reaches 1,250 feet (380 m), while the crowning spire and antenna add another 204 feet (63.2 m) of height. Though newer skyscrapers have since passed it, it remains one of the ten tallest completed buildings in the United States.
