A 1933 view of the
GE Building
, one of the most famous
skyscrapers
in
New York City
, as seen from the
DuMont Building
. At 850 feet (260 m) tall, the 70-
story
building is the
9th tallest building
in the city and the
32nd tallest
in the United States. It was completed in 1933 as part of the
Rockefeller Center
and was designed in the
Art Deco
style by a team of architects led by
Raymond Hood
. Known as the "
RCA
Building" until 1988, it is most famous for housing the headquarters of the
television network
NBC
, and many shows are produced there, including
Saturday Night Live
, the
NBC Nightly News
and
30 Rock
(the last also being a nickname of the building).
