Chrysler Eagle

This piece is in the style of the eagle gargoyles that are to be found on the Chrysler Building in New York City, one of the coolest buildings you will ever find with its iconic top done up in Art Deco Style. It has stainless steel eagle gargoyles, also done up in Art Deco style that, unfortunately, you can’t see very well from the ground. Everyone “oohs and ahhs” over the Empire State Building, but it is the Chrysler Building that is the pretty one- the Empire State Building is just famous for a fictitious monkey. The story of the construction of the two to become at the time the world’s tallest building is an interesting one- look it up! Suffice it to say, the Empire State Building won when they pulled a hail Mary at the end and cheated with a radio tower on top. This eagle shows one of the many eagle styles used on the Chrysler building. Sometimes they turn out EXACTLY like you imagined it. And as of January 2026 can be found at the Frederick F.O.E., a fitting home for an eagle.
