Trivia: In 1652, the Roosevelts bought the future site of what NYC landmark?
Statue of Liberty
Central Park
Empire State Building
Radio City Music Hall
The correct answer is Empire State Building
So why is this answer correct? : Immigrating to the U.S. in 1649, Claes Martenszen van Rosenvelt bought a 50-acre farm in midtown Manhattan. The land included the area from what is now 29th Street to 35th Street between Lexington and Fifth avenues, which contains the site on 34th Street that houses the Empire State Building. President Franklin Roosevelt cut the ribbon at the building’s opening in 1933.
