During the Great Depression many people was out of work and came the idea of the Empire State Building. For almost a half of century it was the tallest building building in New York and fell to the second spot in the 1970’s when the twin tower was built. At first consider more a failure than a success due to the number of vacent offices the empire state building has become a landmark of New York. With millions visiting a year to take a pic it has transfer New York from just a city to the city.
But the fact that it made New York the city is it today isn’t why it is so important. The time it took to build it was a record and it gave hope to many Americans when they didn’t know what their future hold.
