In 2007 , it was ranked ninth on the List of America 's Favorite Architecture by the American Institute of Architects . It was the headquarters of the Chrysler Corporation from 1930 until the mid @-@ 1950s . Although the building was built and designed specifically for the car manufacturer , the corporation did not pay for the construction of it and never owned it , as Walter P. Chrysler decided to pay for it himself , so that his children could inherit it .
