The project was revised 15 times until the Empire State Building acquired the look familiar to all Americans. Architect W. F. Lamb gave the building Art Deco features: the façade is covered with limestone panels, the windows are decorated with steel or granite canopies and stucco supports, the lobby is decorated with different kinds of marble and bronze decorations.
There are 73 elevators in the building.
A spire was placed on the roof: the original plan was to be the final station for the airships. However, the landing of passengers was hampered by strong wind currents, so the blimps were abandoned. The spire has been permanently illuminated since 1976, with the colors of the lights selected according to events.
