Chrysler BuildingWhen, in 1934, Margaret Bourke-White, the
famous American photographer forLife magazine,climbed out onto
one the Chrysler Buildingsenormous gargoyles, this symbol of the
Art Decomovement was just four years old. For a very shorttime, it
was the tal lest building in the world. A fewmonths after its
completion, though, the Empire
State Building snatched that revered title from it.This must
have been heartbreaking for the automagnate, whod had the spire
built in secret so itcould be attached at the last minute to break
therecord then held by the Bank of Manhattan.
