History of Major Attractions

Opened in 1933, Rockefeller Center became a National Historic Landmark in 1987.

The Radio City Music Hall (1932) and NBC Studios (1933) remain operational icons.

The original 14 buildings showcase Art Deco design, with limestone facades, aluminum accents, and motifs symbolizing progress. The 1950s–1970s additions introduced International Style glass-and-steel towers, while the Lehman Brothers Building (2001) reflects contemporary aesthetics. The complex integrates office spaces, broadcast studios, and public plazas.
