Chrysler Building Tower - Photo

This old photo of the tower of the Chrysler Building shows an iconic Art Deco skyscraper in New York City. It is located on the east side of Manhattan at the intersection of 42nd Street and Lexington Avenue. Standing 1,047 feet (319 meters) high, it was briefly the world's tallest building before it was overtaken by the Empire State Building in 1931. It is now the second tallest building in New York City.
