Designed by architect William Van Alen and completed just a year before the Empire State Building, this iconic Art Deco tower wasn't always as prominent in the New York skyline as it is today. Commissioned by Walter Chrysler, owner of the eponymous automaker, it was the first skyscraper with a decorative, non-functional spire, which drew mixed reactions from architectural critics. Although the Empire State Building snatched the title of New York's tallest skyscraper after just 11 months, the Chrysler Building remains the world's tallest brick building with a steel structure.
