The Empire State Building, a 103 - story wonder, soars to 1250 feet, excluding its 204 - foot antenna. Constructed in just one year with 200,000 feet of Indiana limestone. On clear days, visitors at the observation deck can view five states. Its history dates back to 1799 when a farmer bought the land for $2,500. Less than 30 years later, William Astor purchased it for $20,500, and it became home to mansions and hotels. In 1928, the property was sold for $20 million, and construction started within two years. These slate - grey, one - inch tall replicas perfectly capture the unique architecture of this famous US building. Ideal for classroom projects, party decorations, or NYC - themed wedding favors.

These Empire State Building replicas are super easy to use. For classroom projects, you can incorporate them into history or architecture lessons to give a hands - on feel. Just place them on display boards or use them in group discussions. As party decorations, scatter them around the venue to add a touch of New York charm. For wedding favors, simply wrap them up nicely and hand them out to guests. When it comes to maintenance, these replicas are quite sturdy. You can gently dust them off with a soft cloth to keep them looking clean. Just avoid dropping them as they might break. Also, keep them away from extreme heat or moisture to preserve their color and shape.
