Chrysler Building

The Chrysler Building is an Art Deco-style skyscraper and office building, located on the East Side of Midtown Manhattan in New York City, at the intersection of 42nd Street and Lexington Avenue in the Turtle Bay neighborhood.

It is the tallest brick building in the world, albeit with a steel frame.
