Documents the construction of the 77-story Chrysler Building, completed in 1930/ "The never-before seen collection of images reproduced in this book documents the construction of one of New York's greatest icons, from street level to spire. Taken by professional photographers hired to record the builder's progress, they also capture in exquisite detail the day-to-day life on the streets and in the environs of the Chrystler Building. In so doing, they bring to life the history not only of a building but also of an entire age." (dj).
