This is a photo of one of the stairwells in the Chrysler Building. The same red Moroccan marble and chrome steel used in the lobby has been used in the stairwell. This photo was also taken as part of the Open House New York weekend. Click the links for my 3 other posts on the Chrysler Building: October 19, October 24 and November 15. and Access to the Chrysler Building has always been somewhat difficult - it has no observatory or other public space. The Chrysler Building is an office building - access is really only allowed if someone has business with a tenant. Since 911, things have gotten much more difficult, especially with any known landmarks. There is excess paranoia. Photography is being limited in many instances in NYC. I was told on one occasion that I was not allowed to take photos of the elevators (used to carry tourists up the the observation deck) in the Empire State Building. So, I was happy to get access to the lobby, stairwells and elevators. And of course the exterior is free for everyone to enjoy. But that's another post ...

It looks as though the chrome reflects the marble, giving it a brass/bronze effect. Very rich. I wonder what this building cost, and what that would be in today's dollars.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite NYC building. I wish I had seen your site before I visited last time! But there is always the next one.
ReplyDeleteHave you taken any photos of Ellis Island? I've never visited and would love to see them.
