The construction of the pedestal was completed in April 1886.
Richard Morris Hunt, designer of New York City's first apartment building, designed the pedestal. In July 1884, the statue was completed in France. Bartholdi made the statue out of copper sheets, and Eiffel made the framework of steel. While Bartholdi developed the look of the statue, Eiffel worked on the framework.
Alexandre Gustave Eiffel, the designer of the Eiffel Tower, worked with him. In 1876 French sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi began designing the statue. Americans built the pedestal, and the French built the statue and assembled it in the United States. In coming up with a list of New York's most iconic buildings, it's impossible to keep it to 10 or 15 landmarks so here, we've chosen 30 of the city's biggest, best architectural icons.America and France worked together to build the Statue of Liberty. Some new structures, meanwhile, like Santiago Calatrava’s Oculus in Lower Manhattan, are now so indelible to the urban fabric that they’ve already achieved the status of icons. Chicago may be the place where the skyscraper was born, and cities like Seattle and San Francisco have recognizable landmarks, but New York is where some of the world's most important buildings-the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, the Seagram Building-can be found.īut New York's skyline icons aren't limited to tall towers: Grand Central Terminal and the New York Public Library are the pinnacle of Beaux Arts beauty, while outer-borough landmarks like the New York State Pavilion in Flushing, Queens, show that architectural innovation isn't merely limited to Manhattan. Fact: No city's skyline is quite as iconic or beautiful as New York City's.
