@Connection Novel Empire State Building (1929-1931) Hoover Dam (1931-1936) Watts Tower (1921-1954) Golden Gate Bridge (1933-1937) Rockefeller Center (1930-1939) Architecture during the 1930's was very important at this time. With the stock market crash and everything else crumbling around them, there were still buildings getting built. Not only did these buildings make life-long landmarks throughout the USA, but they also gave these people hope-- something that was rare during those times. When these buildings went up, so did their spirits. Even in these times of unknown and fear, the human spirit prevailed. This eventually lead us out of the Great Depression and back into a better America. These buildings represent rebirth, and that even in the toughest times, things can still "look up." **Sarah Frakes**
