• Fun Facts: It took the builders one year and 45 days to complete the construction of the Empire State Building. It was once the tallest building in the world but is now considered to be the 8th tallest. The static electricity is so strong on the top of the building that people on the observatory floor can see sparks when they kiss. The building was officially opened on May 1, 1931 when President Herbert Hoover turned the lights on with a push of a button from Washington, D.C. Because so many businesses are housed in the building the Empire State has its own zip code, 10118. The Empire State Building has a lightning rod near the top which is struck by lightning approx. 23 times every year. In 1983, for the 50th anniversary of the film KING KONG, an inflatable King Kong was placed on the real Empire State Building.
