The Chrysler building is an art deco Skyscraper located on the east side of Manhattan New York. It was briefly the tallest building in the world until it was overtaken by the empire state building in 1931, which is another example of art deco architecture

The building is most recognised for its terraced crown which is an extension of the main building

The building is also decorated with fixtures of eagles on the viewing deck and wings a couple of levels down
