Skyscraper Appreciation Day comes on August 10 of every year. The Day honors the birthday of the famous architect William Can Alen, who is the mastermind behind the construction of the Chrysler Building – New York City’s most iconic landmark.
“Like the skyscraper, the automobile, and the motion-picture palace, neon signs once symbolized popular hopes for a new era of technological achievement and commercial abundance. From the 1920s to the 1950s, neon-lit streets pulsed with visual excitement from Vancouver to Miami.” – Virginia Postrel
