Chrysler Building
There's no observation deck, so most people never go in — their loss. The lobby is a red-marble, amber-onyx, chrome-trimmed Deco jewel with a vast ceiling mural of transport and industry. See the lobby up close, then view the steel crown at dusk from a few blocks off.
Van Alen's 1930 Art Deco spire — and a lobby of marble, steel, and a painted ceiling.
