“Following this formula, John Jacob Astor, who arrived in America the classic penniless immigrant in 1792, rose to become the “landlord of New York” and the richest man in America by the time he died in 1848.”
John Tauranac, The Empire State Building: The Making of a Landmark

“It was completed in 1922. That same year they designed the Standard Oil Building at 26 Broadway.”
John Tauranac, The Empire State Building: The Making of a Landmark

“The average skyscraper is likewise supported by a skeleton, of steel. Its skin, or walls, are supported by the frame; they do not support the building. When the wall of a skyscraper is pricked, it leaks air, and unless its skeleton has suffered a seriously deleterious blow, the building does not fall down.”
