Somehow it only ranks 9th in the list of America’s Favorite Architecture[1]. Which I suppose has more to do with name recognition than anything else.

- suzzer99 3y agoAgreed. I put the Chrysler Building up there with the Pantheon in Rome and El Castillo in Chichen Itza as buildings I could sit and stare at for hours.
- WillPostForFood 3y agoIt has a fantastic lobby as well.
- fsckboy 3y agohere's my pet peeve about #1 on that list: everybody pronounces its name wrong. it's not "TheEmpire...StateBuilding" New York State's nickname is "The Empire State", so the name of that skyscraper needs to be pronounced TheEmpireState...building
