How tall is the Empire State building in New York City?
More than any other building in the world, the Empire State Building embodies the ambition of humans to build towers that reach for the skies. The skyscraper is probably New York's best known building and can be seen on many postcards.At the time when it was built in the early 1930s on Fifth Avenue, the Empire State Building broke all records and was dubbed 'the 8th world wonder'. The building had 64 elevators (now 73) and was constructed in only 1 year and 45 days. The skyscraper towered over the neighborhood with its height of 381 meters (1250 ft).

That makes the average height per the 102 stories approx. 12.2 ft. That doesn't seem right.

Taller to the tip of the spire.

That had to be the answer because the twin towers were 1368ft
