Jun 26, 2019 · The entire Empire State Building was constructed in just one year and 45 days - an amazing feat! The Empire State Building came in on time and under budget. Because the Great Depression significantly lowered labor costs, the cost of the building was only $40,948,900 (below the $50 million expected price tag).
Its construction was completed in record time, taking a total of 410 days. More than 3500 workers were involved at its peak, many of whom were Irish and Italian immigrants. Their work at dizzying heights was captured in a collection of breathtaking photographs by Lewis Hine.
