Ram thought for a moment and then replied, "1151 feet." Raskob was not satisfied with this height, because it was only 4 feet higher than the newly built Chrysler Building in new york at that time. So, the architect managed to add a 211-foot-high round tower, making the height of the Empire State Building.
