The
Empire State Building was built in 1930 to be the tallest structure in the world and was, at that time, considered to be the largest commercial venture ever.
The facade of this iconic structure is composed of more than 200,000 cubic feet of
Indiana Limestone and granite. Ever since it was built, the Empire State Building has captured the attention of young and old alike; every year millions of tourists flock there to get a glimpse of New York City from its 86th and 102nd floor observatories.
