Tomorrow, May 1st, marks the 90th anniversary of the opening of the Empire State Building. As WNYC's Sara Fishko tells us, the building's rise to its 102-story height is only one of the ways it towered over all the rest. More, in this episode of Fishko Files.
John Tauranac's book The Empire State Building: The Making of a Landmark is available online.
John Alden Carpenter's Skyscrapers is available on Amazon.
