The Empire State Building in New York City is known the world over for its history, architecture, and status as a symbol of American industry, and is a wildly popular aspect of New York tourism. With construction beginning in 1930, the Empire State Building was built in the Art Deco style of that period, and opened its doors on May 1, 1931. It took over the title as world's tallest building from the Chrysler Building, and quickly became a focal point of New York tourism.
