One thought on “CHRYSLER BUILDING”

  1. Sometime in the late 1970s/early 1980s, Reg Pierce and I were working for the ad agency Dancer Fitzgerald Sample. DFS moved from Madison Ave into the Chrysler Building just as the renewal/renovation of the landmark was beginning. One day, the two of us adventured into the upper most floors of the spire. We had to take two elevators up and then found ourselves in the two story shell of what once was the posh Cloud Club.

    The most memorable thing we saw was the design of the iconic of the triangular windows…and the fact that there were no actual windows of any manner in the window frames. Wind was rushing thru the space and we could stick our heads out and look down a scary 50+ stories to Lexington Ave.

    Eventually, they installed windows and added the accent exterior lights that light up the mid-town sky.
