11. The Empire State Building
Pictures of the Empire State Building are familiar. It’s one of the most talked-about buildings in the United States. Completed in 1931 by Shreve, Lamb & Harmon, the 102-story Art Deco skyscraper is located in Manhattan, New York City.
For four decades, the Empire State Building held the title as the world’s tallest building and was constructed during a race to create the world’s tallest building. In total, the Empire State Building is 1,454 feet tall, and this includes its antenna. Known as a financial flop for years after its creation, the Empire State Building is a strong tourist attraction today.
