How a New York landmark rose during the Great Depression
Janet B. Pascal places the Empire State Building within the larger rise of American skyscrapers, tracing the engineering and organization behind its 102-story construction. The account also situates the project at the beginning of the Great Depression, when setbacks complicated an already ambitious undertaking. Completed in one year and forty-five days, the building becomes a lens for examining both the practical challenges of large-scale construction and the lasting place of a landmark in New York City’s skyline. The book’s compact nonfiction approach connects architectural history, urban development, and a familiar national symbol.

New York City boasts one of the most famous skylines in the world, and the Empire State Building is undeniably the focal point of this incredible view. At 102 stories, the structure was no small feat. In fact, its construction coincided with the onset of the Great Depression, and so progress was met with numerous setbacks. Still, because of the efficiency that went into the building's development, it only took a year and forty-five days to complete! In this informative, easy-to-read account, Janet B. Pascal describes the rise of skyscrapers in the United States, the intricacies of the groundbreaking construction process, and the effect the iconic Empire State Building continues to have today.
