Its name,its profile,and the view from its summit are familiarthe world over,and a visit to New York is generally conceded to be incom-plete without a trip to the Empire State Building's observatory.  The sym-bolic welcome of its chapel-like Fifth Avenue lobby,and the concourse-like effect of its lobby walls with long rows of elevator banks and inter-ior storefronts,still provide an appropriate grand entrance.  \nThe Empire State was the final and most celebrated product of the sky-scraper frenzy produced by the economic boom of the 1920s,a boom which gavemidtown a new modernistic skyline and a series of new Art Deco lobbies.The building's opening in May,1931,on the former stie of the Waldorf-As toria hotel,marked the transformation of midtown from New York's pre-eminent residential area for the social elite into the commercial centerof the metropolis.  \nThe design of the Empire State Building,in many ways shaped by theconstraints of time,cost and structure,was the finest work of architectWilliam Lamb,chief designer for Shreve,Lamb&Harmon.  The building'sinteriors were designed with concerns similar to those guiding the designof its exterior:  simplicity of detail,long unbroken lines,beautifulmaterials.  Like that of the exterior,the design of the interior was aproduct of the extraordinary practical requirements of the size and scopeof the building,and of Lamb's stylistic leanings towards a spare,some-what utilitarian elegance,with the addition of striking modernistic details.  \nThe interiors of the Empire State Building were designed to be'imposing and of great scale,\"in order to be 'in keeping with the im-portance of the building.\"The grand Fifth Avenue entrance lobby,arrangedas a long,narrow hall focusing on the aluminum silhouette of the E","cbCaisTE5vfYk3Z6","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisTE5vfYk3Z6","pdf",10695810,27,"English","# DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS\n## Scope of designated interiors\n## Public hearing record\n## Historical and architectural analysis","[{\"question\":\"What areas of the Empire State Building are included in the designation list?\",\"answer\":\"The designation covers the ground floor interior spaces such as the Fifth Avenue and 33rd/34th Street entrance halls, lobbies, elevator and escalator halls, adjacent staircases, and specified second-floor interior portions.
