The Chrysler Building is an Art Decoskyscraper in New York City, located on the east side of Manhattan at the intersection of 42nd Street and Lexington Avenue. Standing at high, it was briefly the world's tallest building before it was overtaken by the Empire State Building in 1931. Fortunately till this day, it remains the world's tallest brick building. After the destruction of the World Trade Center, it is again the second tallest building in New York City. This classic example of Art Deco architecture is considered by many, at least among contemporary architects (see below), to be the finest building in New York City.
