the Chrysler building


the Chrysler building (more info)

The Chrysler building (by William van Alen, 1930) in New York City (NY, USA) was the highest (317,7 m) building in the world 1930-1931. It's one of the last skyscrapers in the Art Deco style. The gargoyles depict Chrysler car ornaments and the spire is modeled on a radiator grille. It has been restored in 1995 and it glitters again like it must have in the thirties. 2003-08-10.
