Info
The Empire Building located at 71 Broadway on the corner of Rector Street in the Financial District of Manhattan, New York City is a 21-story (69.3 m) steel framed curtain-wall skyscraper designed by Kimball & Thompson in the Classical Revival style and built by Marc Eidlitz & Son from 1895 to 1898. It is one of the earliest skyscrapers built on pneumatic caissons and one of the oldest still standing today. The building was the home of United States Steel Corporation from its founding in 1901 to 1976. Since 1997, it has served as an apartment building. It was designated a New York City landmark in 1996 and placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.
