GE Building

GE Building at Rockefeller CenterThe GE Building is a slim gothic skyscraper and the focal point at the beautiful Rockefeller Center. At 850ft (259m) with 70 floors, it is the 7th tallest building in New York City, New York and the 30th tallest in the United States. The GE Building, built in 1933 was originally called the RCA Building, however it changed its name after General Electric (GE) acquired RCA in 1986.

The GE Building is one of the most famous and recognized Swarovski skyscrapers in New York. When built, the exterior was a work of art. The vertical detailing of the building's austere Art Deco facade is integrated with a slim, functionally expressive form. Now, the exterior is recognized for the big GE letters on the very top and its famous marquee at the building's entrance often seen on TV shows such as Seinfeld. Unlike most other tall Art-Deco buildings constructed in the 1930's, the GE Building has no spire on its roof.

It is also well known for tenanting NBC Studios and the NBC World Office Headquarters, which is owned by GE. The top floor of the building is an event room and restaurant named the Rainbow Room which was just recently opened to the public. When under construction in 1932, is where the famous photo Lunchtime atop a skyscraper was taken.

Below the GE Building is a shopping concourse. One of the first escalators provided access to the small shopping mall from the lobby. The open lobby was the first of its time and rich materials, reduced black and beige ornamental scheme is enhanced by dramatic lighting. Granite covers the building base to a height of 4ft (1.2m), and the shaft has a refined facade of Indiana limestone with aluminum spandrel panels.

Art and culture, music and architecture, small splendid pieces and the collectors cases, curio cabinets, display cabinets, and display showcases in which they are guarded against decay. All things delighting the eye and the soul.

In 1985 the GE Building was given official landmark status. Some of its nicknames include The Slab and 30 Rock.

Its official address is 30 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, NY 10112
