New York's famous Empire State Building, a New York City Landmark and a National Historic Landmark, soars more than a quarter of a mile into the atmosphere above the heart of Manhattan. It is located on 350 Fifth Avenue, between 33rd and 34th Streets. Construction of the Empire State Building began in March of 1930 on the site of the old Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. It was completed 14 months later in May 1931. The official opening was on the 1st of May, by President Herbert Hoover, who pressed a button in Washington, D.C. to turn on the building's lights. Designed by the architectural firm of Shreve, Lamb, & Harmon Associates, the Empire State Building, at 102 stories, was the tallest building in the world (1,472 feet (448 meters) high to top of antennae; 1,250 feet (391 Meters) to 102nd floor observatory and 1,050 feet (320 meters) to 86th Floor observatory) until the completion of the first tower of the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan in 1972.
