The name of the skyscraper in the black and white photograph is the Empire State Building. It is important because it was one of the first skyscrapers to surpass the Chrysler Building in terms of height and held the title of the tallest building in the world for nearly 40 years. The design of the Empire State Building features art deco architectural elements, such as setbacks and a spire at the top. The structure was designed by William F. Lamb of the architectural firm Shreve, Lamb and Harmon.
