Building the Empire State Building

Author:

Built during the Great Depression, the 102-story skyscraper was then the tallest structure in the world. Readers learn about the problems that were overcome in designing such a massive building, the steel that supported it, and about the teams of riveters who assembled it under harrowing conditions.
