Its name,Its prof1le,and the view from its summit arefamiliar the world over,and a visit to New York is generally concededto be incomplete without a trip to the Empire State Building's observa-tory.  \nThe Empire State was the final and most celebrated product of theskyscraper frenzy produced by the economic boom of the 1920s,and themost prominent of the modernistic towers that created the midtown sky-line in those years.  Its completion in Apri1,1931,on the former siteof the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel,marked the transformation of midtown fromNew York's preeminent residential area for the social elite into thecommercial center of the metropolis.  \nThe engineering and construction of the Empire State Building wereperhaps the most awesome accomplishments of its creators.Its design,in many ways shaped by the constraints of time,cost,and structure,wasthe finest work of architect William Lamb,chief designer for Shreve,Lamb 6 Harmon.The slender,modernistic silhouette he created fit thebuilding so well that even today,when it is no longer the tallest,itremains one of the handsorest of New York's skyscrapers.  \nWith the decline in construction which accompanied the Depression,and the tendency in the post-war period towards shorter,dengar officebul1dings,the Empire State at 1250 feet remaIned the world's tallestbuiding until the 19705,when the Sears Bui1ding in Chicago took thetitle of the wor1d's tallest,and the World Trade Center took the titleof New York's tallest.Yet despite the loss of the title which was oneof the sources of its original renown,the Empire State Building rcmainsNew York's most widely recognized symbol,and the city's quintesscntlallandmark.  \nThe Site  \nNew Y  \nof  \nirk  \nThe site of the Emplre State Building was part of a farm,owned byJohn Thalapson,which was acquired In 1827 by Wi11am B.Astor.1 Thesite remsined in Astor hands over a hundred years of development untilits purcjase,in 1929,by the Empire State Bui1ding interests.  \nAst ar was the second son of John Jacob Astor,founder of the Astordynasty in America.Using the famlly fortune,he acquired a great dealof undeveloped property in Manhattan,foreseeing that the northward ex-pansion of New York along the island would eventually make his propertyworth ma 1y times its original price.  Over the next fifty years,thearea around 34th Street and Fifth Avenue developed first into an out-lying ro whouse neighborhood of New York,and then into the city's mostfashionasle res idential area,By the,Fifth Avenue was lined withthe palaces of the Vanderbilts,A.T.Stewart(the 'merchant prince,one of New York's wealthlest men),and other millionalres,The Astorsthemselvas moved from Astor Place up to Fifth Avenue in 1859,when JohnJacob Astor,Jr.,built his house at the northwest corner of Fifth and33rd Street;shortly thereafter his brother William Backhcuse Astor builtan adjoining house at the southwest corner of FIfth and 34th Street.TheAs tor houses soon became known as the central meeting place of New Yorksoclety,and home to the famous bal11s thrown by Mrs.Astor for the fourhundred,\"New York's socialelite.2  \nFollowing the traditional pattern of Manhattan growth,the clty'shotels,theaters,clubs,and resta","cbCaiqG8AgUpGJFx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqG8AgUpGJFx","pdf",10929924,26,"English","# Description and Analysis\n## The Site","[{\"question\":\"What commission action and timeline does the document describe for the Empire State Building designation?\",\"answer\":\"It references the Landmarks Preservation Commission’s public hearing held on September 11, 1979, continued to December 11, 1979, with advertisements made according to the law.
