When was the Rockefeller Center constructed?
the pre war building boom... that(boom) lasted a year or two after the stock market crash --the empire state building was started 'last'- in 1929. and while everyone knows it, and its a landmark, for years, it was a white elephant.. the floor space at top is small and cramped (the views are great, though, tourist money (people going to the top) kept it from going bancrupt for years.
Rock center was sometimes in the 20's..
(if i am not mistaken, its build on leased land--something that is uncommon in US. the land (or some of the land) is owned by trinity church (on wall street) and leased out on a 99 year lease. this is common(er) in UK.
trinty church still owns (and so does columbia university) huge tracts of manhattan) The land they own is leased, and the yearly rents are a nice subsidy to the institutions.
