The incredible thing about the Chrysler is that it was essentially a cheaper building than what was originally supposed to be constructed on that site.

Was it cheaper because they used brick instead of stone?

New York State Senator William H.Reynolds sold the development to Chrysler as a result of the economic downturn before the building was redesigned -

One of the greatest lobbies in any skyscraper today. Too bad, modern towers are not built with this same kind of grandeur.

Amanita Dec 5, 2010 9:13 PM

Sadly alot of clients view lobbies as a waste of space, according to one book I read:(

ethereal_reality Dec 5, 2010 10:31 PM

Those are the best photos of the lobby that I've ever seen.
It's like an art deco fever dream.

Favourite building in NY..
I wonder how sharp the tip of the spire is.. :P

mrnyc Dec 10, 2010 10:45 PM

the greatest skyscraper in the world!

sky i am in awe of your lobby shots :tup: wow! -- i have the same, but mine did not come out well. too dark and crowded in there when i tried it (on ohny day), much less my limited talents and crappy point n shoot haha!

MolsonExport Dec 10, 2010 10:58 PM

The lobby is mind-blowingly fantastic.
