The first real super tall skyscraper in the world....
It's still hangs on the top 10 ( i think)..after over 70 yrs..wow now that's an accomplishment.
ohh by the way i think you all could see i give it a 10/10.

The definitive skyscraper 10/10

April 16th, 2003, 05:24 AM

King Kong liked it and so do I.

The best one of all the times...

Seventy and two years and one sees as if they had done it does two...

Best... the Father of the Skyscrapers...

Of course that is 10...

One of the pioneers of skyscraper construction!

9.5/10

AtlanticaC5 · May 8th, 2003, 08:35 PM

72 years old and still one of the tallest in the world, it's incredible.
And it was only TWENTY months between the contract and the finish of the building!!!!

I will always love it....

10/10

9.5/10 There is no comparison. A classic for the ages.

Don't worry about someone giving it a 4, I just gave it a 3.

3/10.

I don't like artdeco, the color's bad, the shape is okay, but the way the windows are done, well...it's a shame the best they could do was take an average window you can find in any american home and tile it up and down the building.

On the contrary, it's height is a plus and that's why I give it a 3 instead of less then 3.

edit: wording.

I think some people here need to stop criticising people who rate this poorly. They have a right to dislike this building, and at least Lechita7 and Duke Togo are honest enough to give valid reasons, we usually just get cowardly silent voters.

I'm sorry but I think you're insane......10/10

Classic.

jmancuso · June 14th, 2003, 03:29 AM

I give it a 15 out of 10. It's Empire State Building for christ's sake!

Falcaonet · June 17th, 2003, 02:15 AM

Oh most definitely a 10.This is the SKYSCRAPER.

Deventer Up · June 22nd, 2003, 04:38 PM

10/10 When you look for skyscraper in a dictionary it says Empire State Building !!

The first thing most people think of when they here 'New York' or 'skyscraper' - world famous and world renowned!

SkyHawk · July 24th, 2003, 07:04 PM

The most famous building in the world.

Only New York could show us, already in 1931, a skyscraper so high and wonderful.

Very spectacular at night

10/10

weirdo · July 27th, 2003, 05:53 AM

it's f***ing beautiful. leaves spectators breathless. a symbol of newyork, america and probably scrapers! it's been the wtb for a long time (?) i dunno much history. spectacular esp at night. there are a bunch of other scrapers as beautiful as or more beautiful than the ESB but considering the fact that this has been built way ahead of them makes it even more unique!. 9/10

July 30th, 2003, 04:59 AM
