This picture beautifully shows that seventy years ago Manhattan already had buildings reaching the sky. The Chrysler building, built in 1930 as the headquarters of the automotive tycoon Walter Chrysler, was the tallest building in New York for four months. In 1931 it was overtaken by Empire State building, that specially added an extra top. The Chrysler building is still the highest brick building in the world. It owes its popularity mainly to the striking dome, which in the evening is even more distinguished by the sophisticated lighting.
The picture was taken from its great competitor. In the background we see the East River, with what is now called Roosevelt Island, and the Queensboro Bridge, which connects Manhattan with Queens. A beautiful picture for anyone who loves the Big Apple. And who doesn't?
(Collection Timeview, USA, New York Chrysler building 1940s)
