Description

A rediscovered 1930s notebook charts The development of the Empire State Building.

Constructed in eleven months, the 1250-foot Empire State Building, the sector’s tallest skyscraper from 1931 to 1971, was once a marvel of brand new engineering. The frame rose more than a story an afternoon; no comparable building since has matched that rate of ascent. The development of the Empire State Building was once orchestrated by general contractors Starrett Brothers and Eken, premier “skyline builders” of the 1920s. They scheduled the delivery of fabrics and The development and recorded day-to-day the choice of workers by trade. Compiled from these records, an in-house notebook documented The development process. Meticulously typed on graph paper and illustrated with construction photographs, this unique document combines a certified specificity of detail with a charming rhapsody to the firm’s crowning fulfillment.
