Title card: The 85 Story Empire State Building

On a dark ground a drawing of the planned skyscraper stands in an oval of light, its stepped base and shaft rising to a narrow top; the lettering around it reads The 85 Story Empire State Building with Beacon Tower 1250 Feet in Height. The figures belong to the design of 1929/30: eighty-five office floors crowned by a tower that brought the height to 1,250 feet.
