Best Answer

When the Empire State Building was originally built, it was expected that there would be zeppelin traffic, and a mast would be useful to allow a zeppelin to anchor itself to the Empire State Building. As it turned out, zeppelins were a very transitory technology, soon replaced by airplanes, so the mast got very little use.
