AnswerEmpire State Building.AnswerYeah, that's what I thought. Except, the Empire State Building is 1454 feet tall. Not counting the rod, it is still 1250 feet tall. From the ground floor to the 102nd-floor observatory is 1224 feet.The 86th floor observatory is 1050 feet -- very close to the 1046 mentioned in the question -- however, nobody in their right mind would call the 86th floor observatory the "top" of the Empire State Building, since it's really, really, really NOT.I was thinking maybe the person who asked the question confused the Empire State Building with the Chrysler Building? The Chrysler Building is 1046 feet, while the Empire State Building is 1454 feet, 102 stories, and opened in 1931.

The Empire State Building was the tallest building in the world from the time of its completion in 1931, until it was surpassed by the North Tower of the World Trade Center in 1972 (the North Tower was completed before the South Tower).
Until April of 1930, it was the Woolworth Building. Completed in 1913, the Woolworth Building was the tallest building in the world until it was surpassed by the Bank of Manhattan Trust building, now known simply by its address, 40 Wall Street. The 40 Wall Street building was the tallest in the world only for a few short weeks, from the time of its completion in April 1930, until it was surpassed by the Chrysler Building, which was completed on May 28, 1930. Like 40 Wall Street, the Chrysler Building also enjoyed the title of World's Tallest Building for a very short time. It was soon surpassed by the Empire State Building, which opened on May 1, 1931.
