Empire State Building - the top - 1986

Empire State Building - the top - 1986
443.2 m above ground is the antenna's peak. Per the original plans, the Empire State Building's spire was intended to be an airship docking station. The 80th, 86th, and 102nd floors contain observatories. I visited the 86th floor observation deck back then, the higher one was closed for public. - scanned slide, Minolta X700

Well taken and interesting information - I wasn't aware it had been intended for docking airships.

It had been intended but in fact, no airship ever docked there ;-) Nevertheless you can find many old photos in the internet, but all are montages.
