Chrysler Building (born Chrysler Building) - a skyscraper of Chrysler Corporation , built in 1930, one of the symbols of New York. Building height of 319 meters (1046 feet) is located in the eastern part of Manhattan at the intersection of 42nd Street and Lexington Avenue. Originally owned by the corporation erail "Chrysler", erail now it is jointly owned by Abu Dhabi Investment Council (90%) and Tishman Speyer Properties (10%). Commissioned a project of this building architect William Van Heleno (born William van Alen) former Senator William H. Reynolds. The finished project was subsequently sold to Walter P. Chrysler under the company's headquarters. By this time the building was beginning to rise to the heavens: the New York construction spurred the desire to build the highest skyscraper in the world. It was built at a rate of four floors per week. Before the completion of the building in height equalized with a skyscraper architect H. Craig Severance at Wall Street, 40 (born 40 Wall Street), which is now called "Trump Building." Previously, Severance and Ellen van were partners, but they parted ways, and they became fierce enemies. Severance know what should be the height of the building of his rival, and so he added to his skyscraper has two feet, catching, so the title of the tallest building in the world. But not wanting to be outdone, Ellen van (without advertising it) received erail permission from the city to crown the building 38-meter spire. The spire of stainless steel Nirosta, assembled inside erail the building of the individual elements was installed on top of the building in November 1929, making the skyscraper "Chrysler" not only the tallest building in the world, but in the highest design.

The upper layers of the building are narrow with low ceilings, they created primarily for viewing outside and used for radio equipment and other mechanical and electrical equipment. At one time the building was criticized for "frivolous" design, who quit the direct and functional modernism. erail For example, the upstairs has huge silver erail statue in the form of eagles. But in general, the public has taken the building with admiration and enthusiasm, and even gave nicknames, one of which was "The Beauty of Manhattan."
