the crash of 1929 stopped that. |

Not
to be confused with the GE Building in Rockefeller
Center, this is a stunning Art Deco Tower.
The terra cotta reliefs represent radio waves.
The roof is a real treat!

Twin
peaked towers - a hotel and residential complex.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt's private car pulled
up to a railroad spur under the hotel and
he was whisked up to the hotel whenever he
visited. General Douglas MacArthur lived in
the towers after he retired from the army. |

Rockefeller
Center |
30
Rockefeller Plaza
New York NY
|
This
is a wonderful complex, with amazing art inside
and outside the lobbies.
One of the more interesting stories is
that Diego Rivera painted a mural in the
main lobby... and had put in the head of
Lenin. Not a good thing to have in a complex
named after Rockefeller.
Diego Rivera refused to remove the picture.
He was paid in full, the mural was destroyed,
and replaced with a mediocre one.
Good news though - Rivera repainted the
mural at Bellas Artes in Mexico City. When
you're in Mexico City, be sure to visit
it. It's a huge mural, and a real treat
to see. |

Empire
State Building |
350
Fifth Avenue
New York NY
|
Most
people go to the observatory, but I think
the best part of the Empire State Building
is the stunning mural in the lobby! Be sure
to view the different medallions representing
the crafts - elevators, masonry, electrical,
etc.

Chrysler
Building |
405
Lexington Avenue
New York NY
|
My
favorite New York Landmark - it's simply magnificent.
Be sure to go into the lobby - the elevator
doors are made with beautiful hardwood inlay...
and the ceiling is a wonderful mural of the
building. Walter Chrysler had the spire secretly
constructed in the tower, and then raised
up. It made it the tallest building in the
world until the Empire State Building was
finished.
