Episode 4
Tuesday, 21 October, 2025

In this episode of American Dynasties: The Rockefellers, we travel to the heart of New York City to uncover the story behind one of America’s most beloved landmarks — Rockefeller Center. Built during the Great Depression, John D. Rockefeller Jr.’s ambitious “city within a city” became a symbol of resilience, artistry, and American optimism.From the steel beams of 30 Rockefeller Plaza to the shimmering lights of the iconic Christmas tree, this episode traces how Rockefeller Center evolved from an architectural masterpiece into a global holiday tradition. Discover the origins of the first tree in 1931, the creation of the skating rink, and how one family’s vision turned into a beacon of joy that continues to unite millions every December.
