Empire State Building made of Legos

Lego Empire State Building
My wonderful friend Jenna surprised me with this awesome present today! I had a grand time putting it together and love having it on my desk to look at. Here are some facts about the Empire State Building:
1. It opened in 1931 and was the tallest building in the world until 1972 when the World Trade Center opened.
2. The building is a member of the "World Federation of Great Towers" and has been named one of the 7 wonders of the modern world.
3. On the foggy morning in July 1945 a US Airforce B-25 bomber crashed into the Empire State Building's 78th and 79th floors.
