The jaw-dropping 102 stories and 1,250 feet of Manhattan's Empire State Building put it in a world all its own when it opened in 1931. While other towers have grown up much higher, it's still an iconic piece of the New York Skyline. The steel frame clad in Indiana limestone has been a beacon of Art Deco design for nearly 90 years, but what if the Empire State Building had a different style? The designers from NeoMam envisioned a few alternatives in a post for HomeAdvisor.

Gothic



Ancient Roman



Renaissance



Art Nouveau



Traditional Japanese



Postmodern



Brutalism




Deconstructivism




Sustainable
