Event Details

It’s no longer the tallest in the world but the Empire State Building is the ancestor to all super tall skyscrapers today. Holding the record for forty years — from 1931 to 1971 — there’s more to its towering height. Learn about the auspicious address before the Empire State Building, how it was erected in record time during the Great Depression, and why it’s still the most photographed building in the world. Hear fun facts and interesting stories behind New York’s most recognizable building. 

Led by NYC Tour Guide Ginny Poleman.
