This iconic building that has been featured in many television shows and movies over the years is over 100 years. Although the modes of transportation have changed over the years the building still looks the same.
"Once construction of the building began, it proceeded at a very fast pace. The steel was so meticulously pre-cut that the frame went up at the rate of a floor each week. By February 1902 the frame was complete, and by mid-May the building was half-covered by terra-cotta tiling. The building was completed in June 1902, after a year of construction.[8]".
