One of the most famous buildings in the world, the Empire State Building, has towered over Manhattan for over 81 years. It was built in 1931 and has become a national landmark in the United States. It was built in 2 years during the Great Depression. The building developed jobs and people made money. This was the best time for building a skyscraper since everyone jumped on the opportunity to build the skyscraper. It's unusual shape makes it an easy thing to spot for tourists. At night on top of the building, the lights will glow red, white, and blue. The Empire State Building will always be a hotspot for tourists and locals alike.
Why was it built during the Great Depression? To supply people with jobs?
ReplyDeleteHow much did it cost to build?
ReplyDeleteTo Luke James: Luke James you are exactly correct. The Great Depression was a bad time in America. The purpose of the Empire State Building was to supply jobs to those who did not have one.
