Chrysler Building
The Chrysler Building was part of the 1929 "race for the sky" that broke out in Manhattan. Automobile tycoon Walter Chrysler battled Bank of Manhattan Trust Company for the title of world's tallest building. Chrysler won the competition by erecting a thin spire on the roof that raised the building's height to 1046 feet. The Chrysler Building's victory was short lived; four months after its completion, the Empire State Building snagged the title of world's tallest building.
