A skyscraper with a height of 102 floors at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and 34th Street was created by two legendary businessmen - Pierre Samuel Dupont and John Jacob Raskob (led by DuPont and General Motors). Having bought a plot in Manhattan, they joined the battle for the tallest building in the world. The pace of the design was incredible: the architect William Lam prepared the drawings in two weeks. In January 1930, they began to dig a pit, in March they erected constructions. 3,400 workers, including the Mohawk Indians (they have no fear of heights) erected the building with amazing speed: four and a half floors a week
