Prometheus Statue

The centerpiece of Rockefeller Center is the 70-floor, 872-foot GE Building at 30 Rockefeller Plaza ("30 Rock"), formerly known as the RCA Building. It's sunken plaza is famous for a wintertime skating rink and Christmas tree.

 

Unlike most other Art Deco towers built during the 1930s, the GE Building was constructed as a slab with a flat roof, where the Center's newly renovated observation deck, the Top of the Rock is located, which was first built in 1933.
