Chrysler Building is a 1,046-foot tall Art-Deco skyscraper located in Midtown Manhattan. It was built in 1930 and was the world's tallest building from its completion until the Empire State Building surpassed it in spring 1931. The Chrysler Building itself was built to beat 40 Wall Street (aka. the Trump Building) by 119 feet with its spire in a top-secret way.
