The Chrysler Building, designed by William Van Alen and completed in 1930, is an iconic Art Deco skyscraper in New York City, originally commissioned by Walter P.

Standing at 1,046 feet, it was briefly the world's tallest building, known for its distinctive stainless steel spire inspired by Chrysler radiator caps. The building housed the Cloud Club, an exclusive dining club for the city's elite, on its 66th to 68th floors, which operated from 1930 until its closure in 1979. The Chrysler Building remains a symbol of 20th-century modernity and architectural innovation.
